Have not fired revolver yet with grip installed, however I can say with certainty that it it much more comfortable in the hand and easier to maintain a firm grip than with the original "horse hoof" as I like to call revolver grips. The material, palm swells and finger contours all add up to a confidence inspiring feel. I cal also tell from years of shooting handguns that the soft spongy insert that is there to lessen the recoil jab it gives you in the crotch of your thumb will be a welcomed addition. I don't even know why Hogue bothers with the standard version of this grip. Installation was a breeze too, once I figured out how to keep the little saddle pointed towards the hole to get the screw aligned. There are two frame versions for the models this will fit. It will accommodate either but you have to pay attention. I simply figured it out on my own, though there wasn't much to think about. The stock grips will never see this gun again, I dont care how fancy the wood looks or how much rubber Ruger puts around the outside edge of them they still suck. I have no clue why pistol manufacturers don't use rubber grips like thing right from the start. Instead they make you buy aftermarket stuff if you want to hang onto it worth a darn.
I rated 4 stars based on what I know so far, saved one star in case the thing falls apart after some use...

**update**
Have carried and fired the gun with this grip, and not only has it not fallen apart, it helps with recoil comfort alot! I have it on a SRH in 44 mag with the 9.5" bbl, and despite conventional thinking that the longer the barrel the less the recoil (HA!) this thing kicks like a donkey with it's nuts in a noose with the hunting loads I made for it, but they're not as bad on the web of the hand as the other grips. Add the other star!

This grip is great. The grip fits my hand better than factory grip. It also reduces recoil for heavy loads. It fit on the revolver perfectly.

This a great grip for my 44 magnum Super Redhawk. Much better functionally than the stock grip. I had some misgiving about the attachment but it appears to work well. I purchased a Pachmayr grip previously, I found it was poorly molded and like holding on to an eel, if your hand is the least bit sweaty. This grip is firm and solid and distributes the load over a larger part of the hand and takes much of the kick out of the 44 mag...

I should have swapped out this grip years ago. This is a great grip, that Ruger should put on as a standard grip. Far superior to the one that my Ruger GP-100 .357 came with from the factory. A+++++

I bought my Ruger Alaskan 454 with a smaller grip, inlayed with rosewood panels. It was a good looking grip, but the first time I fired a full cylinder of casull, the thumb pad of my hand was brused, and skin came off my index finger and thumb nuckle and I bled all over the gun. An exciting first experience with the Alaskan to be sure, but something I didn't want to repeat every time I shot it :)

So I bought the Hogue Tamer grip and installed it. What a difference! Shooting an Alaskan with this grip is a comfortable joy! Feels like I have solid grip and no pain. My accuracy is better with this grip as well.
