Mainly personal pref.....
The metal lug might protect the ejector rod from impact damage .. possibly? The full lug adds weight some complain, I do not mind and I actually like the looks a lil better and it might just help recoil abit.... Maybe it can be used to clobber someone over the head when I run out of boolits. 
I have a full lug 4inch blued GP100 and like it. |

Ok, thanks for the reply. I kinda figured it was mainly personal preference. About the ejector shroud and possible damage... on the 4 inch I am looking at the shroud still covers the ejector, so I don't think that will be a problem. I was mainly concerned about losing some strength or ruggedness, but I don't think that will be an issue.

If the shroud is covered, it boils down to a point of balance/recoil control preference. I like half underlugs like the -six series and match champion, some people don't. Whichever.

The main function of the lug is extractor rod protection. Length of the lug is purely personal preference. I also prefer the Six Series partial lugs over the full length.
That said, my two Six Series revolvers are short enough to look like full lug.

I think its a matter of preference since nowadays it's not that hard to design a handgun balanced however you like with or without a full lug. Personally, I just don't like half lug guns, they just look unbalanced aesthetically to me. On the other hand I love full lug guns for the same reason, they just look complete. There are others who are completely opposite so...just personal preference.
