Good grips can make a huge difference.
Those I did change before even taking it to the range. It had some nice, but feminine, pink and purple laminate wood grips, way too small for my hand. I put on a set of Uncle Mike’s grips that increase the width and depth, which helps I’m sure. Now if I can just get over the words “Lady Smith” engraved on the side, it will be all good. But hey, it was my Mom’s. I’m sure she’s happy I have it.
