Of course any hard surface material does not absorb recoil as well as the hogue tamers, so +P is acceptable but magnums start to sting a little.
The shape is great to hold onto, and with my medium hands I can get 2 and half fingers on the front. The narrow grip allows for better double action control as I can really wrap the trigger.

Yes of course, us jackasses should never have a right to our own taste. That is what the majority of the supposed "negativity" was. Beautiful craftsmanship, just wrong subject.

Even pigs have to look pretty and dress up once in a while!

I wouldn't even say lipstick on a pig. More like a prom dress on an auto mechanic.
Might be a good looking auto mechanic, but not a prom queen.

If you can't admit that this LCRX with wood grips looks decent, we have nothing to discuss.

That's a damn BEAUT.

.38? Have they made a .357 LCRx yet? Even in .38, still a great belt gun. That little bastard deserves a Sourdough Pancake and speed strip pouch.

That was funny, Cheapshooter-but now I can't get the image of Mr. Goodwrench wearing a tutu out of my head...

I can only imagine the recoil with those grips. I had to go through two versions of the Hogue grips before settling on Pachmayrs to keep the recoil from killing my hand. Even now, I can barely finish a full cylinder and that with reduced power cowboy loads.
