OEM here. Anything beyond a Pachmayr rubber for my Browning HP is overkill. No 'curb feelers' on any of my vehicles either. But that's just me.

#2 I have VZ grips on my pair of .38 Super 1911s. The rest of em are stock. My three inch barreled S&W M29 is much more comfortable to shoot because of a one piece Pachmayr grip.

#3 I've only added a Pachmayr to my wife's LC-9. Now if I had a nice 1911 or something that had...well, grips, that might be different but none of my pistols really have grip panels to be changed out.

#4 Brick, I found that there are grips available for one piece lowers in the form of grip sleeves. Bought one for my P97 and it improved the 'grip-ability'. Made the grip rounder. This stuff can be had throught the ruger.com store.

#5 Pachmayr getting a lot of earned / deserved love here, but Hogue makes some worthwhile aftermarket grip products too.

#6 the one on the LC-9 might be hogue. Can't remember and I'm not at home to check. The rest of my pistols don't need them. I have two Walther's, an H&K USP and a Springfield. Never had grip issues on them.
