Bigger the grip, the more control you have over the gun and the harder it is to conceal.
There's a grip industry trying to produce the best of both worlds. From Uncle Mike's boot grips to the very shootable but ugly looking Hoges or Packmayers. In the end, we choose what works best for us. Some love the beautiful wood grips, like yours. Others, like me, find they wack they cr#p out of our hands with light J-frames. Or K-frames too, for that matter.
In my younger days, recoil didn't beat me up so much. In my six decade, that's not the case anymore. For handling recoil AND concealability, the rubber (ranging from soft to hard with some covering the backstrap and some not) grips work well.
