I posted my experience in a similar, but different thread. I found my 642 much more comfortable to shoot with the Delta Grips. Because of that, my accuracy at 21 feet increased significantly, particularly my grouping.
Since I pocket carry my 6423 and it's a sort of last ditch self defense gun, I don't care much how it looks.
I asked at one point and one of the reps said that they do have some plans to make them in different colors. I don't now if that will help, but it probably won't hurt.
I have a friend who has a 442 who is an infrequent shooter. He doesn't like the recoil of the 442 and I want him to try shooting my 642 to see how much better he does with it.

Perceived recoil was less with my 158 grain home rolled swc's and the Speer Gold Dot SB's I normally carry. My real surprise came when shooting Speer 158 grain .357's. I have tried shooting magnums in this gun on two occasions with two different types of grips . Each time I pulled the trigger once and said, "no more"! I thought I had broken my thumb and the cylinder latch took a divot out of that digit. I fired 10 magnum rounds though the gun today. The recoil was noticeable but not painful and recovery for a second shot was easy. I don't know that I'll carry magnums but now I know I can. I believe the Ergo Grips at least for me are a keeper.  |
