While I'm not a huge fan of Hogues, let's remember that they also are located by the cutouts at the top of the grip- the single screw at the bottom of the grip keeps the grip pushed up into those cutouts.
I was a department armorer, and several of our departments carried S&W Model 66s with Hogue grips. I never saw one fail, break, or interfere with the function of a duty gun, ever.
