Well, after 500 rounds I had to throw in the towel on the factory grips. They're just too narrow for my big meat hooks. My hands can't get good contact on the sides of the grip no matter how hard I crush it and this causes the gun to torque in my hands during discharge.

In spite of the fact that I despise rubber grips on handguns, I've installed a set of Hogues and they do the trick as far as controllability goes. The increase in girth is the key factor.

A question for those of you who've used the wood Hogues: how do they compare in size to the rubber grips? About the same, or are they larger still?
