And now for a question a little more grounded in reality. For those who have owned or shot the the 2" D frame Colt revolvers, what is your preference for the grip with regard to shootability and concealability? (Those are definitely real words.) I have a 80s issue Agent with the smooth compact stocks. Before I shot it, I wondered if I would have to get rubber grips after hearing about the bone crushing recoil of small aluminum revolvers. After putting 100 rounds through, I don't really see what the big deal is. I'm inclined to stick with wood to keep them from grabbing my clothes.
I see a lot of them wearing the Pachmayr Compac grip and have heard that they make them comortable to shoot. But since I got a small revolver specifically for the possibility of pocket carry, I'm concerned about the added length to the grip. But then after shooting it, I would like to get something thicker to get a better hold on it. Right now I'm leaning toward getting a set of the 3rd or 4th issue DS stocks. I would like to get an idea how those work for concealment though.
If nothing else, there's always the aftermarket.
