I know they are desirable but the new style on my 657 are much better grips for hot loads and my hand, plus only cost $55.00 IMS. I have shot both my 657 and a 3" 629 (that I sold to buy another .41 mag) with them combats and they are terrible at reducing the recoil. The .44 drew blood in the web of my hand within 1 cylinder. I much prefer a set of Ahrends over the S&W's as they do fit my hand and are way less expensive. For REALLY heavy loads a set of full coverage rubbers are the way to go, but the combats look pretty for pictures and are doable on .357's. JMHO
