$350.00 is about what I paid for mine, several years ago. I like the Ruger SBH as a woods-carrying gun and it suits me well for that task.
The way the grip works on a single action revolver is that it is supposed to slip in your hand. When the revolver fires, that smooth grip is supposed to roll in your hand. It's a simple matter to readjust your grip while your thumb goes up to cock the piece for subsequent shots. I much prefer smooth wooden grips on my SA revolvers rather than rubber grips.
The recoil is easy enough to manage. It's been my experience that even small women can manage it if they're familiar with shooting.
