thanks for the reply and the heads up on the grips. just another reason for me to replace them. first reason i just can't warm up to the looks of the rubbers but i must admit they do what they are supposed to do which is to help manage recoil? not sure what i have in my grip stash but in stash or not they will be replaced. probably with something in a nice wood. we'll see. thanks, kenny
