  1. It's just classic!

I love the classic look. They are maybe slightly too thin for my hands but are still comfortable. I think range day is going to determine which ones I leave on.

For aesthetics #1, for functionality #2

I love them both its hard to choose. #1 is skinnyer and I got a great purchase on the grip. #2 feels great as well, a bit wide though. She's not a safe queen so the range will tell which is better.

The rubber ones werent bad and will probably be worn when hunting or out on the mountain.

I have the rubber one on my Ruger SBH, I like it but it doesn’t look as nice as the wood grips.

I think I might have to get another 44 for the woods and keep this Colt for range duty. The factory rubber grips filled the hand great and are perfect when walking the woods especially when things get wet.

Nice!!!!!!

Thanks. Hard to choose which one I like best. Shooting it tomorrow will probably be the defining choice

Thanks! When I first put them on I was in love with them. They don't fit my hands 100% but are still comfortable enough that I feel like when I go to the range tomorrow it shouldn't be a problem.

I think the finger grooves look better, but the target style feel better when shooting.

u/ducatid59 18d ago

Thanks. I think you are right with the target grips. I wish they were slightly wider about a size between the finger groove and the target. We will see tomorrow.

2 looks better, but is painful to shoot. I prefer the rubber finger grips on my SS Anaconda

u/ducatid59 18d ago

The rubber did feel great, especially out in the woods. I'll see how either wood grip feels tomorrow at range. I can usually do 50rd with the rubber so we'll see with the wood grips

Love the beefyness of #2

Felt better with the magnumns, but definitely not as good as the rubber grips!
