Back in the late 1970's or early 1980's(IIRC) a company called Devel was chopping/customizing S&W model 39s. These were in the pre 3913 days.
One of the modifications they did was popular was the hooked/squared trigger guard. It was very popular.
After a few years of watching Devel customize their guns, S&W incorported a few of their modifictions into some of their 2nd generation guns. (I don't think S&W would admit that)
This 639 of mine would be an example:
Stick around... they will probably be back in style again.
