I have limited experience with the Hogue grips but unquestionably like my Pach's better. Took my Pachmayer Compac's off to try a set of Hogues and did not like them at all. They felt bad in my hand and just had a cheap feel and sound (if that makes sense) to them. I put the Pach's back on. However, this is strictly personal tase and impressions and someone else could feel totaly different about them.
