if you or your friend has short fingers you may find the Hogue mono grip too big to get a comfortable grip with. you could also try pachmayr grips. these will cover the bottom of thr grip frame adding a small bit of length. Be carefull when getting grips that you get them for the right frame size. a blackhawk grip is NOT the same size as a super blackhawk. However a .44 mag 5.5 barrel sbh has a bh grip frame.................. OH GOOD LORD. JMHO, I prefer the plow handle over the Bisley, but the i grew up shooting the rx3red and the Bisley is just not quit right in my hand.
