Pistol grip guns, on the other hand, are supposed to be better suited for target shooting. I have had plenty of both, and think the lines have been blurred. There are certainly plenty of purpose built target guns, with straight grips, single triggers, and no safeties.
The one thing I know for sure is, the prices go up with straight grips.

It makes sense to me that the straight grips would bring more money since there are fewer of them out there. Rarity usually equates with higher value.
