My "stock" answer to this question: VZ. I'm fond.

You sent me a PM inquiring about the VZ grips. I tried to respond but your in-box is full and won't take more. Here's my response: Depends on the factory grips being compared. The VZ's "pinky finger" portion extends exactly 1/2 inch below the grip frame at the forward tip of the grip, arcing...
