Calvin I do not shoot revolvers a lot, so others may give a better perspective on this. I thought they did help. In fact I thought the grips made it more comfortable to shoot. This gun weighs 13.5 ounces and has a 1.88" barrel which does pack a lot of punch to the bck of the hand.
Also it seemed the grips help push the sites back down (Not sure thats the way to say it) on target faster to me. When shooting a little quicker, It was very easy to reacquire a site picture. The grips are made by Hogue.
The cost of the revolver was right at $400 OTD. At home thay are $25 to $50more. The airweights are usually a little higher in the gun stores but you can get those on line a little cheaper.
The reason Ive purchased a few of these is strictly because of the light trigger pull. These ladies have arthritis in their hands and we have spent a good deal of time trying different revolvers in DA hammerless, and the ruger was their choice everytime. These ladies have NO experience shooting. So its strictly can they pull the trigger one handed.
