The other thing I’ve unsuccessfully toyed with are the grips. Mine came with the pebble grain Hogues. They’re nice, do a good job absorbing the 7.5gr Skeeter load, but was looking for something “not quite” as bulky. Per advice here, I tried the compact Letts. Don’t like them. At least for me on the .44, it makes the gun feel “unbalanced”. I’ve toyed with the idea of getting full sized Letts, or trying some VZs. I’m not sure how that hard micarta would feel in my hand under recoil however...
