They are. The lockwork and the smooth trigger has a lot to do with it, but I also think the size of the frame is a big reason. Most folks have average sized hands and the K frame is just the perfect average size. Ed McGivern had small hands with stubby fingers and the K frame fit him perfectly. On the other hand Jerry Miculek is a bigger man with considerably larger hands and he likes to use the N frame for his work. But most of us aren't his size. I'm 5'6" with average sized hands. I get it.
