If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Ha Ha, got a pair of those too, if anyone wants ‘em.

How’re the Pachs working out for you?
They do mitigate recoil well, but the Uncle Mikes (designed by Craig Spegel, BTW) do that and point much better for me.
Im a slug. I havent gotten Stephs out to her yet.
Life has been somewhat complicated of late. Im starting to see some daylight though.

I don't see that they make the Uncle Mikes grips any more.
Uncle Mikes no longer makes the grips you speak of. You can find them on eBay or Gunbroker, but they are market price, and the kraton rubber tends to degrade and get a bit sticky by the time it's 20+ years old.
Even NOS ones are subject to this.

Some of mine are 30+ years old and running fine.
That includes a pretty rough set on a former LEO Model 65 that had been carried a lot.
This is good news! My SB K frame set is 31 years old now, and has lost just a little of the semi gloss on the smooth parts.
But I've handled more than a couple sets that were really starting to soften.
The RB J set I got from @OlongJohnson has a touch of stickiness, but they came from Houston, were quite worn, and are carried so frequently that the stickier outside gets worn smooth fairly quickly.

I told myself I'd behave this year.... but was spending this afternoon plinking at the local range - waiting around for my first child to arrive (he was due yesterday, Mom's getting inpatient, no major developments as of yet) and of course they had a Model 15 sitting in the case, in great shape for a price I couldn't pass up.
I figured I would take a page out of @03RN 's book and buy my son his first K-Frame. I'll take care of it for him for a while, of course....

Nice looking gun. My son is 4 now and we dryfire regularly
