Factory straight grips would have the proper long tang guard.

Many pistol grip guns were 'converted' to straight stocks, and used the original trigger bow, simply straightened out. I have seen some examples that look very amateurish, and others that were first rate, That, notwithstanding, if a long tang trigger bow was available, it would have been a smarter choice, if only to give the wrist a bit of strength.

Thank you, I had a feeling that was the case. This one had a skilled hand working it for sure. I am assuming that detracts from the price.
