To the extent XR-3 (new and old) and XR-3RED grips are at issue, perhaps that's a tradeoff between aesthetics and comfort, Cary. I'm a fan of your grips, but don't use a pair of flat bottom XR-3 I purchased because I thought they looked better. They do too, but IMO your beveled grips are more cofortable shooting pinky under. For me, your flat bottoms work better on dragoon and bisley grips, on which I use all four fingers.Nearly all my customers order flat bottoms. That's my stand on the subject. I'm not trying to say anybody is right or wrong.
That's rather surprising.w5lx said:The full hand grip seems to be preferred by a small margin.
