Default New Shoes...

Going to give the Hogue Monogrip a try....

The good - covers the backstrap, increases the distance to the trigger (my thumb and index finger were binding when pulling the trigger), has that great grippy feel of Hogues.

The bad - they're not wood, they're ugly and utilitarian looking, and they don't reach to the top of the "hump".

These grips totally change the feel of the gun. With the Smiths grips, a high hold (web of hand at, or above, the hump) felt good. The added finger groove on the Hogues makes a lower hold feel more natural. I suspect these grips will make it more pleasant to fire. If not, then I'm switching to a steel frame....Range report to follow.
