Pachmayr for me. I like the gripper grips. Backstrap still exposed and they follow the overall shape of the frame. They just look like they were meant for the gun. I like the medallions too The Hogues are too skinny, squishy, and longer then they need to be. The one piece design seems to trap moisture more and you can't read the serial number on the trip with Hogues on. Something that is required at every range qualification with the NYPD. The vast majority of cops carrying revolvers in the NYPD dumped the wood Magnas and put on pachmayrs. The gripper grips have a little window cut into the bottom of the trip to see the serial number.
