I’m curious if you ran with the OEM grips, or replaced them.
I suppose it depends on how much you use your handguns. Everyone’s hands are different. I recently bought some Pachmayr Grippers for a newly purchased Model 66.
When I was in the service, a guy I worked with replaced the grips and a few other things on a military Browning Hi-Power. He then marked it in the lock up and declared it “my property”. He had paws not hands though, so there was no danger of it being “borrowed”. 😀
In general I like Hogue grips on DA revolvers. Wood and checkered on guns with moderate recoil, rubber on the harder kickers.
Auto grips, mostly 1911's is a whole thread into itself
