I'm the opposite. I'll take Hogue over Pachs any day. I had the monogrip on my model 10 when I bought my 19. The 19 came with the original wood and a set of decelerators. After shooting the 19 with the decelerators, they did not reduce the recoil well for me at all. Got home and switched the two. Went back out another day and ran full house 357's through the 19 with no problem at all.

Guess they just fit my hand better.
