Thanks for resurrecting this old thread! So many great looking grips!

I'm taking delivery of my first 686 next week, and I will be replacing the rubber grips with some sort of wood grip as I love the look of wood. Can someone please comment about their experiences with the classic target grips versus Hogue wood grips? I love the look of the target grips...love the classic look! But I know I will probably like the Hogue wood grips as that is what is on my Ruger GP100. I'd appreciate hearing any observations, experiences etc. in comparing target wood grips versus Hogue wood grips.
