How can you shoot a 357 or 44 with
Small wood grips ? They look great.
Are they just show guns ? I'm getting
The Hogue big butt grips because
I want to be comfortable when I shoot.
I know they are ugly, but I don't care.

If you mean Hogue's, I had standard Hogue Pau Ferro's, smooth - not checkered, on my 4" 686 and 4" Security Six, and they worked perfectly. Standard 357 Magnums, modern factory loads, all worked well with no problem. Those grips did it for those revolvers and my hands.
On the other hand, the factory round butt grips on the 3" 1980's M629 were terrible for me - that combination of revolver, grips, and standard 44 Magnum ammo actually hurt my hands. The Pachy Presentations worked much better.
I have Fitz Cherrywood duty type grips on K and N frame 357's, they also work wonders with recoil.
Standard Spegel checkered Boot Grips are working well on the 8 round 357 I posted above.
Different hands, different grips, different results.
