I shoot anywhere from 25-50 rounds. I do realize the Snubby is spicier but it shouldn't pound my hand like this.

I have Snubbies in 357 and 454 Casull that have rubber that are comfortable, and have the same grips. No issues with pain.

Every time! Not a fan of shooting with wood grips, at least not the stock ones and Im not willing to spend the money on different wood grips to figure out what works. But above all I just don't care to play dress up with guns unless I really really have to

Wood grips would be my choice! Old fashioned I guess...

Exactly. Also, I find rubber grips grip your clothing are not suitable for CCW.

wood looks and feels better unless it was on my 329pd, aka worlds lightest 44mag. miserable to shoot regardless

Rubber on all my revolvers except my Airweight. They're tools - I want the range or woods ones to be comfortable to shoot a lot of rounds or high power rounds respectively.

I want the Airweight to be as small and slick as possible while still being controllable. It wears wood for that reason (and is practiced as such).

I shot my 629 with the Hogues today. Perfect. No issues. Handled the gun, like a champ. Even with fast fire.

With the key term being "to shoot", rubber all the way.

The wood looks 10 times better on my 629 v-comp, but the rubber Hogues handle and feel much better. For my Unobtainium 340PD, I use the CT LG-405s and it really tames the beast.

Best grips EVER for the SP101's are the rubber TRAUSCH grips....you wont find a pair anymore, but they are awesome. When I sold my 3", I kept the grips as they are unobtanium now. Should you ever run across a pair for sale..JUMP ON EM.

I have heard this around the circles when bringing up the SP-101. I was told by someone that they don't even fit the new guns because there was a bit of a change in the frame in the earlier 2000s
