I've found that neither Pachmeyr nor Hogue can control the beast with full power .44 mag hunting loads a la Buffalo Bore or Garrett. Does anyone know of squishier grips that will fit the S&W N frame (round butt), perhaps like the Ribber grips on the big Taurus?
 
Get some unchecked wood stocks for your gun. Squishy grips are for girly guns. Seriouly get some uncheckered grips and learn to let the revolver roll in your hand.
 
I ordered two different styles of Pachmeyr grips for my 629 and both fit horribly. In short, they SUCK! I put the Hogue hard rubber grips (stock) back on and use a shooters glove. All is fine.
 
SA's roll in my hand, but DA's, even with smooth wood, punch the web of my hand. As long as the grips are wide enough where the web rests to spread the impact, it's OK. Grips that cover the backstrap there are a plus.
 
Here's a pic of my 629 - my grips look like they could fit a square butt, but mine is a round butt - that extra gap behind the backstrap might be helping.

Target was shot at 25 yards on the NRA pistol target (5.5" bull) - lots of you can probably beat a 92, but I'm happy to get all 10 on the paper!
