Thanks to all for the thoughtful insights and advice. It’s interesting how much of this boils down to personal preference.
I’ve tried to be patient but I came across a straight stock, beavertail, double trigger Steel Shot Special at a local shop and it followed me home (or will after the waiting period). It’s in remarkably nice condition but the stock doesn’t fit me very well.
I may try to work with it - or try to trade or sell it.
Best;
Brett
