I was initially reluctant to get this one because I HATE the Hogue grips that come with it. The whole Hogue design, wood or rubber just kills the purpose of the gun for me. That being compact. The Hogue grips are Huge.........and butt ugly.

But, now that I've handled the Eagle Grips available for the SRH........



....I think there is a chance the Alaskan can still be somewhat portable and "compact" for the Beast that it is.
