If I felt the situation warranted it I would add a .357<br />Mag or 9mm. However that very rarely happens. I’m not Sammy Swat or Danny Delta. Just a normal guy who doesn’t want to get robbed/ assaulted. A .38 does that job just fine.

They might fit some people's hands, but not mine.<br />I also use those Presentation grips on my Ruger SA revolvers because the stock wooden ones are a bit too small and slick for heavy recoiling guns.

It was only 1/8 of an inch at a time, but it made a huge difference for me. Even new shooters can run my .45 with good results.<br /><br />As far as double-stacks, the Walther PPQ is the first double stack that fit me well out of the box. I use the smallest backstrap. Most everything else is functional, but as you say, feels like gripping a 1x2.<br /><br />Hope some of this helps.Thinking OutLoudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-77874875882178165552021-06-18T23:40:28.581-05:002021-06-18T23:40:28.581-05:00WC - I like those Pachmeyr grips on revolvers, esp...WC - I like those Pachmeyr grips on revolvers, especially since the grips with finger grooves almost never match my hold. For 1911s, we found some ultrathin grips (Brownells, maybe?) that really helped.
