I don't have them on a double action yet but I have them on my Freedom Arms in 44 mag and they work just fine. If you sweat a lot they do get just a little bit slippery.

Micarta is suitable for anything that will take a beating. I think canvas micarta would be a good choice because of the added texture. I have been looking, but have not been able to find a maker.

Thanks Lee, thats an idea, I may craft a pair myself. The linen micarta is still made, it is a finer texture then canvas. Paper micarta is finer still, very smooth and takes a polish. All of them very good material. Joe.

I would dearly love to see someone bring out targets in canvas or linen micarta. If it's good enough for the 1911 crowd, it should work for us.

Almost five years later, I received an email from VZGrips announcing that he was debuting G10 grips for the N-frame at the Houston NRA Show:
