A teaser from NCRENAGADE.COM ( click to go to their home page ) – I urge YOU – Yes and YOU to go read the whole thing! – and then spend some time digging through all the stuff there on the site . . .
And now Dr Fucky ( How do YOU pronounce that satanical fuck’s name?? ) is saying we need to wear eye covering . . . Now we are going to allow ourselves to be hoodwinked????
How long until YOU and YOUR’S are led into box cars to go to the covid cure camp – now when you get there take your clothes off and leave them in the pile – to be disinfected of course – and hurry into the “showers” so we can disinfect YOU and begin the “cure” process . . .
Wake the fuck up people . . .

I really am going to have to start using my real camera – damn cellphone just does not work sometimes . . .
Besides playing with the Hogue grips at the Inner10 we got a little range work first – started my blushing bride cold with transitions ( yeah I know – but she is starting to realize that first / second / third shot has to be there ) – as close to one second splits as she could get them . . .
The double taps she did great on – second shot was fired when she had a sight/target picture and did not worry about in the box -scoring rings etc. – used a silhouette target – simply acquire the sight/target picture and send it – she is starting to realize the less she thinks about all the “stuff” ( grip – perfect sight alignment – holding her tongue just right – the rotation of the earth and so on . . . ) other than send the next one down the line the better she does – some of her splits were less than a second – she’s getting there . . .
Now let me ask YOU – Have you been to the range this week?? If YOU could not make the range – did YOU practice dry firing? Draw and presentation and re-holstering??
There are a lot of manipulation techniques YOU can practice without going to the range – REMEMBER to be borderline OCD about safety – NO live ammo in the same room!! Be safe out there -OK??

My blushing bride and I went to the Inner10 and tried the Mono Grips and the Tamer Grips side by side – we each fired 10 rounds with each at 5 yards – she shot 130 grain standard pressure and I shot 158 grain standard pressure – rate of fire was right at 1 round per second – below are the little darlings ready for bath time after their outing . . .
Oh you dirty little guns . . .
She did good withe Mono Grips . . .
Tamer Grips – not so good . . .
My run at it with the Mono Grips – that’s two rounds at the lower left corner of the center red square . . .
And here I go with the Tamer Grips . . .
The Mono Grips are a little longer than the Tamer Grips which really helped with control and recoil recovery – even though the Tamer Grips did help a little with recoil – the issue is the palm swell is just a little too much . . .
The palm swell as well as the overall hump shape on the back of the Tamer Grips ( see top pic ) makes for a rather different feel – like you are just not getting a “secure” purchase on the Tamer Grip.
When you add it all up – the texturing on the Mono Grips is more aggressive than on the Tamer Grips – then add to the mix the extra 3/4 of an inch or so length of the Mono Grip with the smaller palm swell and the somewhat straighter “back” the Mono Grips gets the Kewpie Doll today . . .
If you are looking to replace your J Frame grips with something besides factory style grips these offerings from Hogue just might be what you’re looking for . . .
If recoil is an issue – and for some folks it is quite an issue – then go with the Tamer Grips by all means – while not significant there is an amount of recoil reduction with them. But realize they do have a learning curve with them – yes they “feel” that much different. I would recommend practicing with them until they feel right to you – and then practice some more!! ( there you go with that P word again!! ) – To me the Tamer Grips feel “strange” compared to my beloved Ergo Grips – and the Mono Grips have a much more “conventional” feel – they feel more “full” sized .
And a good time was had by all – shooting is just like fishing – my worst day fishing just beats the tar out of my best day working . . .
