I swapped out the grips on my Colt Government 45acp with some Hogue "recoil absorbing rubber" grips and was suprised to feel what a weight and balance difference changing grips can make.
With the Hogue grips, my Colt seems slighty top heavy, even with a full clip. I was holding the old grips in my hand and was really suprised at how heavy they were, it almost felt they we weighted with lead or something in the mold.
I then went to the range and shot with my new grips, and did awfull! I could not hold a good grouping even with the fact that the new grips are much more comfortable.
Do you think the new balance of my gun was the cause of this?
