I have medium-to-large hands which are very arthritic--crooked fingers, lumpy knuckles, the whole deal. Finding the grips that are comfortable and give me good control of the gun takes precedence over my great fondness for walnut magna stocks. Price is also very much a consideration. My EDC for a good many years has been A 640 no-dash. As soon as I bought it I put Pachmayr Compacs on it (I had seen them on a Colt DSII and they felt great) and have never looked back. They give me a higher grip on the piece and much better recoil absorption. A few days ago I sadly removed the magnas and Tyler T-Grip from my 10-5 and replaced them with new Presentations. Haven't shot it yet, but they feel good and, as shipped, fit fine with no QC problems.

I've never liked the feel of Hogues, either shape or the softness. For one thing, finger grooves don't work with my buggered-up paws.

So yes, it has to be a very personal choice, and that's fine with me.
