My best guess is that harder grips allow for a firmer hold of the gun, so less "Bucking" in the hand on recoil.<br /><br />Be interesting to see how they compare to your Mom and you.WeerdBeardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-50182412185461958042012-07-07T23:00:47.922-04:002012-07-07T23:00:47.922-04:00In my experience, the actual grips are just as com...In my experience, the actual grips are just as comfortable to shoot as the original Hogue tamers.

In general, I would wager the instructions/etc. are geared towards people with more operating knowledge of the firearm, and if you bring this to their attention, they might consider rephrasing it.

Like the definitions of various terms and the need of diagrams.<br /><br />I'll agree that not including the right little tools can be a real pain.<br /><br />The dry fire thing's also a real good point. And is handy for practice.The Jackhttp://fivetensfourtens.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
