Okay, I just thought the full underlug would leave more room for a longer ejector, guess that's not the case

Well, it would in theory, but the manufacturer would have to add a third ejector rod length to inventory. They already manufacture a standard length one, and in most cases a shorter version for "snubbie" guns.

Back in the day, when I used to shoot revolvers outside, away from a bench, and the ground wasn't so far away, I learned to simply turn the gun muzzle up, then hit the ejector rod. Gravity works everytime.

I don't mind the full lugged barrels as much as I dislike the current crop of slabsided barrels with the tapered underlug. I have tried to like the looks, but to me, they are still as homely as a mud fence.

In looking through my modest collection of revolvers, I think that the 4" barrel with a half lug just looks "right" on a K frame. I don't particularly like the tapered barrels of the Model 10 all that much, preferring the classic look of a Model 19/66/15.

With the N frames though I think that there is no such thing as an ugly model.

M57, 8 3/8"
M29-2, 6 1/2"
M27-2, 6"
M29, 4"

This is the route I took. I don't think a full lug would benefit it much.

In my opinion the bull barreled guns are the best.

I prefer full underlugs, and mid length barrels. And I really dislike the looks of the "pencil" barrels.

But I also trend to prefer ruger over s&w, so clearly I don't have "collector" tastes.

My ooooold Colt Trooper was well made. This is an MK III. 4" barrel, .357 magnum.
