My .44 Mag "Mountain Gun" came with Hogue Monogrips, which came off before ever visiting the range. I fitted that particular revolver with Ahrends RB grips. A 2-5/8" 629 now wears Altamont G-10 boot grips.
Width across the back does more to mitigate recoil than any other factor. Altamont and Ahrends grips are just right, IMO, and promote a high grip for flip control. Hogue grips have a palm bulge which I find too low, and too narrow across the top. I get blisters when shooting heavy loads with rubber grips. It's better to have a little slip, as long as you don't have to readjust your grip each time.
[Sorry, but my only web site which I can use to post photos is skittish about firearms. They promote violence, you know. Working on it.]
