Help me choose 629 grips from these pics

[s-wfan]

I have a 629 Deluxe. The factory grips are attractive, and I plan to keep them of course. However, I love the woods from Hogue and I'm trying to decide which of these to purchase for this gun. A little opinion sharing would be appreciated.
A and B are Kingwood. C and D are Cocobolo.

I like the A and D ones.

Those are nice looking grips, I like C or D.

I'd like to ask a question. Concerning size, I bought a pairs of VZ grips for my 629 and they are way small. I have average to large hands. How do the Hogue grips run?

 

[s-wfan]

A bit bigger in my opinion. They have a palm swell and are slightly longer.

 

[s-wfan]

Both Cocobolo?

I vote D. The Kingwood is nice but reminds me too much of commercial vinyl flooring, something not too eye-catching. You want eye-catching with your fancy wood grips.

The last one for sure.

The Cocobolo, C or D. Both are very nice.

I agree with Trout but...... A or D leaning heavily to D. C was kind of interesting but grain is cloudy.

D

"D" all day long, I especially like it when there is color variation. I also love this color variation of cocobolo, just a hard, deep purple as seen on my model 18. I found out the hard way, had to return a pair, that Hogue will send you photos of their stock on hand. I don't know if that option is in the fine print or if I just missed it but I sure love their cocobolo, kingwood and rosewood grips.

C and D. I like cocobolo and goncalo alves, like, a lot! Rosewood too but I haven't found a nice set of SB targets yet.

 

[Doug44]

D coconolo.

 

[scruffy]

C. Gorgeous wood. But C or D would look great on stainless.

 

[s-wfan]

Thank you all for the thoughtful comments. I'm going with D. I appreciate the help.

C looks more Texan. But D nice too

 

[Luvmine]

"C" gets my vote.

 

[Benchrest1]

C or D are both nice and would be my choice.

 

[bananaman]

Based on pics alone, would have to say C. Seems to have the most character. Bob

"A" or "D" ... NO ... Looking some more ...
I vote "D" ... Cocobolo for sure .

The grips on the model 58 in my avatar are Ahrend's Cocobolo ... not long after he announced that cocobolo was on the endangered species list and was no longer offered as wood for grips ...
If you can get Cocobolo ...Grab Em' !
