I like mine a lot. The 15oz weight does not soak up too much +P recoil. It bangs the hell out of my index finger joint but putting on a band-aid before I go through 100 rounds of +P does make it pleasent to shoot. I had to do away with the boot grip for a larger Hoague grip as I could only get two fingers on the grip with my pinky hanging in mid-air. I do like the larger grip. I do not do any "pocket carry".....Just a cheap nylon holster in my waistband. It will ride there all day and I hardly know that it is there. The J-frame is a fine choice when I am not carrying my 1911.
