The Officers Model with the carved wood grips is amazing to shoot. Whoever made this set of grips managed to shape a set of grips that really fit the hand (at least my hand!) and provide a nice carved scene on each panel with the cougar in the tree eyeing the deer at the bottom of the tree. On the other hand, I do have a Sig 220 that has the Hogue grips that work quite well at absorbing shock and recoil. While I would really like to own an engraved firearm, I would not use it as a daily carry piece. So I guess the issue here is art and history vs practicality.
