I've used BK adapters with OEM wood grips as an alternative, half a box of Full Charge wadcutters worked well in a 60-3 last evening.

Same here. Last N frame I purchased came with them. Replaced them with Eagle Heritage grips before I even shot it. Atlimonts went down the road.
Some may like them and that's OK too.
