I have the same gun and use the Hogue grip. It has a screw in the bottom of it that holds it on. I have had no problems with the grip and its very comfortable. I took my first deer this past fall with my .44. I used 300gr JSP Corbon ammo. I had the gun sighted in with this ammo for a bear hunt so I used the same thing for deer. He only went 40-50 yards after a double lung shot. I don't reload yet and in my opion Corbon makes some good ammo.
