Ease of changing grips on Ruger GP100?

How easy is it and what are the options? I realized that they're the biggest thing keeping me from getting one. Well, that and the less-than S&W trigger, but I can work on the trigger, right?
 
The grips are very simple to change. There is only one screw to remove. The trigger can be improved by installing a Wolff spring kit. Just be careful when putting in a lighter mainspring. You may get unreliable ignition with the lightest spring. The GP-100 is a great gun!!
 
For options, try http://www.lettgrips.com/ for starters.
Mine wears Hogues, lots of people like the factory grips but I prefer the finger grooves.
Another vote here for the Wolf spring kit, makes a big improvment but be careful, the kit comes with three mainsprings and as mentioned before you can go too light.
Had an opportunity to shoot a friends 686 the other day, firs time I had tried one out. Wouldn't trade my GP for it.
 
OWN TWO KGP-141's

Both wear Pachmayr Decelerators, easy to install and PERFECT for my hand.
Both wear Millett orange-ramp front sight blades, easy to install and really visible.
Both have been dry-fired considerably, and both have VERY GOOD triggers.
Wolff springs good, but I have experienced unreliable primer ignition in both.

Ruger I like better than S&W wheels (except for some specific guns...)
