It\u2019s strong enough that any breakage or wear is extremely unlikely for generations, and yet it can be contoured to fit any hand.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to revolver handling, grip fit means far more than grip material. Those over-sized soft rubber grips so many firearms are sold with are known for reducing felt recoil. They do this somewhat because the material is cushioning the recoil, but moreso because it squishes and fills the hand.<\/p>\n<p>The downside is that these grips flex during recoil, potentially diminishing accuracy as well as increasing muzzle rise and the amount the gun moves in the hand.<\/p>\n<p>A properly fit grip in any sturdy material fixes this problem. Following the instructions on the DLS web page, they will contour the grip to your particular hand. If you\u2019re particularly concerned with concealment, DLS can further reduce the size of the bottom stop, or reduce the thickness or overall size of the grips.<\/p>\n<p>When I was first looking at these grips, I was concerned they would be too large to allow for OWB concealed carry, one of the requirements for my particular firearm. That bottom stop looked to me like it would print horribly under an untucked button-down shirt or jacket.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lauck assured me that would not be the case, and he was absolutely right. Although hiding an N-frame is never easy, these grips print no more than the original factory rubber grips from Smith &amp; Wesson.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_536754\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-536754\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-536754\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-700x574.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-768x629.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-150x123.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-696x570.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-513x420.jpg 513w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-560x459.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717.jpg 770w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-700x574.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-536754\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-700x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-700x574.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-768x629.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-150x123.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-696x570.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-513x420.jpg 513w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717-560x459.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230308_182717.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-536754\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The photos of the grips, those on the DLS website as well as my own, tend to make the grips look thicker than they are.
