another approach
And one not like by purists, is to use the oversize rubber grips from Pachmayr or something similar. I prefer the rubber ones over the harder plastic ones from Hogue. My Rugers are working guns, not dressed for looks, but dressed for what feels best in my hands. I use the Pachmayr grips on Blackhawks (.357 & .45 Colt) and Super Blackhawk (.44mag).
With money being a concern, spending a relative little on those grips to try them out makes more sense to me than spending bigger bucks for a new grip frame. If they turn out not to do what you want, you aren't out all that much, and you can get most of that back selling them.
