I can't shoot 44 mag...

[FunFordCobra]

With hogue grips I can shoot 1 inch groups at 25 yards with 6 1\2 inch ported barrel. With wood grips I'm lucky to be on paper.. Do they make that big a difference or did I just suck today?

Probably just need more time to get used to the new Grips.

Rubber hogue stocks sometimes going to be less accurate, because they allow the gun to flex in your hand as you're squeezing the trigger. They work for some people, and not so much for others. I am not personally a fan. I like checkered wood grips on square-butt guns, and smooth boot grips on round butt guns.

OK thanks I'll turn off my vagina and man up. I am using the wood checkered round butt grips that are converted to look square. I have only shot 50 rounds total of 44 mag ever in my life to my defence though!

Yeah they worked great on the SIG where they are actually mounted to the gun, do not make the grip wider, and add the finger grooves. Glock, not so much!

I prefer hogue grips myself.

I think I do too I just think they are soo ugly. My first time out was with the hogues and it felt really good and I shot very well. When I used the wood I really felt I was shooting a hot mag and couldn't control it like a beotch.

These are hot underwood EDIT 300 grain 1250 ft lbs and I think are wrong for the gun. I just wanted shoot the rest of the box that I bought. The brass buldges after I shoot them and I have to force brass rod the shells out.

I'm going to try some 240g normal mag loads and hopefully I can control it again.

Underwood is a great brand and I shoot them exclusively in my 308, but those 300g are the only caliber out of so many I've tried from them that gave me a problem.

I bet that ammo shines in a Super Blackhawk Bisley.

That hot a load is going to be hard to control in 6-1/2 inch barrel. Go to normal loads and I think you will do fine. Also Underwood loads are known for bang not accuracy. That load is much better suited to a rifle.

I like shooting with the hogue grips, I just don't like the way they look.

These are hot underwood 330 grain 800 ft lbs and I think are wrong for the gun. I just wanted shoot the rest of the box that I bought. The brass buldges after I shoot them and I have to force brass rod the shells out.

What kind of gun is this?

[FunFordCobra]

S&W 629-5 Classic 6 1/2 ported. My groups were literally the size of a 50 cent piece using single action and hogues. The wood looks so good though they made the gun uncontrollable.

This ammo. It is 300g. Muzzle 1300 / muzzle 1250 ft lbs

Gross..

I like the way wood grips look, but I like the way hogue grips fiction more.

This is one of those Fuction over Form things.

The grips are easy enough to change, shoot with the hogues and leave wood for display...

I would be careful with those real heavy loads in a 629, those frames can't take that kind of heavy abuse for long. As for the groups, grips don't make your gun uncontrollable, you're just fearing the recoil more and pulling the shots. When that firing pin drops, the bullet has left the muzzle before it's even compressed a millimeter into your flesh. Where that pistol was aimed when that sear broke is where the bullet is going, what happens afterwards is just formality. Pulling shots is a very real variable, however. I set the trigger on my 500 to be feather light so I don't pull the shots. Making a small change to your grip can do wonders as well.

Word. I'll just stick with 240s. With the wood grips and 1245 ft lbs, it kicks like a snub...
