And to think I once thought a shooter was some concoction involving Jello;^)
I don't know about younz, but my life sure perked up when I got my R9S, to say the least!! It's an exciting, but sometimes punishing gun. I wonder if someday they will offer a shock absorbing grip to reduce felt recoil. I like my Hogue 1911 style diamond grips in rubber on my Kimber and Dan Wesson. It's not as pretty as carbon fibre (haughty way to spell it;^) or Cocobolo, but it feels better when firing. Any skinny on this possible accessory? An ideal one would be a wrap around affair, that slips on and off fairly easily, right over the existing grips.
TIA!

I have toyed with adding a sleeve ... something like a cut down Hogue HandAll .... or even perhaps a piece of inner tube if suitable diameter.
This would be more for grip enlargement than actual recoil taming - but I do agree .. for me anyways ... a tad more grip width would help a lot - my hands are large, tho not quite ''apelike''! :D
