I'd have to evaluate the grips in the real world before I decided on what, if anything, I'd do with them.
I just have to keep my eyes open for one at a reasonable price.

For defensive shooting purposes at 18-25ft, I haven't noticed enough of a difference between 124gr and 147gr out of any of my guns. If I do my part, both weights stay within the black on the 5-bullseye targets, and both wind up where I want them to be when shooting faster on the ANT-4 silhouette targets.
I like the lighter 124gr in my guns for weight consideration if packed in my bag at work or tucked in my workout shorts going to the gym. I stoke 147gr other times when considering the fact that they will be sub-sonic if used indoors for hearing preservation.
With the sub-compact 3" barrels, I would only carry Federal HST (or Winchester RA9B, if I had any) in 147gr. Too many other types of 147gr have shown to be unreliable in online get tests out of 3" barrels.
