Them ones in post2 look like they'd fit me well, they'e purty too.
I only have this .455 Webley and a 38/44 Heavy Duty, neither with much recoil. I have wide thick hands, but short fingers, so that target stuff just doesn't work for me. On "K"'s I use a Tyler "T" or Pachmeyer filler behind the trigger guard. Me and old Elmer Keith don't do well with the target grip style.
Basic standard S&W Magna grips . I even put them on the older guns . Factory wood is good but Ivory or stag is best . Rubber ???? Good for tires and non lethal projectiles but not much else IMHO .

Rubber makes pretty good shoe soles, too, if the compound is right. Whoever thought it was a good idea for handgun stocks must have had a few screws loose.
Rubber is all I used on my long range competition revolvers.

Hhmmm . . . Must have gotten those screws tightened.

Why? I don't like rubber stocks because they beat up my hands, stick to my skin and don't let me squirm the gun around to find that exact same happy place each time I grip them, they're ugly (subjective opinion), and I haven't ever found a set yet that actually come close to fitting my hands. My hands are not a tough fit for most guns, except when someone else preordains where the finger grooves, bulges, dips, and curves are supposed to be.
Screws aren't much good with rubber. Electrical tape holds those rubber grips on good and tight. And the oozy sticky stuff makes the gun easier to hang on to.
