For what you paid for them, the fit on the bottom of the grip is really bad. I'd send them back.
Thanks. I appreciate that!! - 'ole joe.Joe-You can get the same boot grips from here Altamont Company - Smith & Wesson for MUCH cheaper.Altamont makes all the wood grips for S&W.
I agree with you and JoeM19. Hogue Bantams for EDC and shooting.Many like to badmouth them, but for shooting fit and comfort, I greatly prefer Hogues to anything else. And you can't beat the price.
