The primary reason I wanted one was that with the factory rubber, a proper/standard revolver handhold leaves a big gap between the top of the backstrap and the web of my hand.
If I choke up my handhold to close the gap, the gun is tilted in my hand. Then the trigger is almost on the inside of my trigger finger knuckle, and during a trigger pull my index finger runs into my thumb, even if it's curled down.
This is the ONLY difficulty I've had shooting the 642 vs. other j-frames, so I'm excited. (Just ordered one from the Hogue site.) I appreciate all the information from the contributors here.
People like to complain about all the BS on the internet, but I've found this and other forums to be 400 times more useful than the gunshop/range know-it-all's out in meatspace.
