to pick then I would go with the ones from Smith.

But, as the lesser of two evils, I picked the Hogues!!
Have you taken a look at Eagle Handgun Grips??
I have the Rosewood "Secret Service" Handgun Grips on my Taurus M85UL. They are pretty sharp looking!!

Posts: 572 I'm in the minority here, but I feel that extra color in the Hogue Handgun Grips would make a nice contrast. The ones you list from S&W looks like they'd "blend" with the gun, particularly if the gun goes into a black holster.
Incidentally, regarding Eagle Handgun Grips, there's one poor fellow over at Glocktalk.com who shows a picture of a set of eagle Handgun Grips made for his model S&W. The Handgun Grip were not properly inletted and did not fit the gun. Complaints to eagle resulted in "inlet them yourself." A rather obnoxious reply if I do say so myself. The thread in in the Wheelhouse entitled "Got Wood?" if you want to look it over. Some nice looking Handgun Grip. I have a set of secret service Handgun Grips (these are several years old) on my 640. The checkering on these Handgun Grip is pretty unimpressive. They look great until you look at them closely. Lots of overruns. Looks like the borders were cut before the checkering was done. There Handgun Grip are expensive, and I'd expect better. I hung on to them b/c I was carrying the gun and, at that time, function was more important that having every little thing right. I bought them b/c I wanted Spegel boot Handgun Grips, but couldn't find his shops contact information and the secret servcie Handgun Grips looked to be a very nice alternative (at least from Eagle's pictures).

Posts: 489 Thanks for the info, and the warning about Eagle's. I agree, that is a rather obnoxious reply. I'll have to do some checking around. Right now, I'm partial towards Hogue's Lamo/Camo and Spegal's Handgun Grips, which I thought looked very nice too.

Posts: 1,574 Black and silver also known as ebony is much better looking on a defensive handguns than lamo camo. Lamo camo is more for hunting pistols than defensive handguns!
In the end it's your handgun, so it's your choice on Handgun Grips!
