Absolutely true. However, I feel rather compelled to challenge the popular notion that rubber grips cushion against recoil and are the only ones suitable for shooting. Or that "real shooters" use them. Many people just accept this without ever really exploring their options, thinking that all wood grips are just like whatever cheap crap the manufacturers put on factory guns. Some go so far as to deride the use of wood grips entirely and condescend those that prefer them with rhetoric about safe queens. The nonsense perpetuated in post #12 is a prime example of this.Handgun stocks (grips to some) are such a personal thing it is silly to argue who's right in what they choose to use/shoot. If rubber makes your elevator go to the top floor, more power to ya. If wood makes your heart beat a little faster, enjoy. (smile)

I have Pachmayrs on my Dan Wessons because they are actually more comfortable than the factory wood grips. Which is rare because for most other guns they are too narrow in width and too long front to back. No doubt others find rubber grips to be more comfortable but as I said, it's the shape that matters.
