Toolguy and Pizza Bob have it right. In addition, I have seen ICORE shooters go prone and use the Big Butt to support the gun. Some members of the Hogue family are avid revolver shooters in competition.

For me, the most important value is getting the correct grip on the speed draw for steel shooting. We who use them generally shoot our guns rather than admire or despise their looks.
