Well, rubber stocks are ugly I will admit. Personal preference is for the Hogue over the Pachmayr as the finger grooves happen to fit me and I've never liked Pachmayrs. Lately I've been using the Hogue Bantams on the RB L-frames I'm shooting. They don't stick out as much on the bottom as the full size versions.

My suggestion is that those who like Pachmayrs shouldn't buy Hogues and those who like Hogues shouldn't buy Pachmayrs. And those who hate rubber should buy wood stocks...but that's just my opinion. (smile)
