I just bought a LEO trade-in 5903. It is in excellent condition except that the grips are pretty scraped up. I would like to put new grips on it.

From what I have read, the Hogue grips are pretty sticky for concealed use and make the grips thicker which may be a problem.

I have run across a set of Uncle Mike's grips, but have never seen any comments on how people feel about them. Has anyone here had any experience with them? I would very much like to hear your comments.

The Uncle Mikes are probably the thinest of the aftermarket grips, hard rubber, uses a backstrap with side panels(3-pc). I liked them but do use the Hogue on my comp guns and stuck with the stock grips a CCW.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll go ahead and get the Uncle Mike's. If I don't like them I can always get Hogue's as they are much easier to find.
