Snubbie Grips

Xavier reffed this article on grip selection for snubbies. There are a plethora of choices. Hard to know what a body would prefer without testing...

Though Smith and Wesson comes with a Hogue style grip, from the factory now. At least the snubbie models I am interested in. Not the old style over-small wood grips. It may be just fine with that.

Is a snubbie on the top of the list now for 2010 purchase? That or the .22 revolver like a S&W 617 or something cheaper seem to be in the top running. My birthday is coming up, I bet even forearm averse family members wouldn't mind popping for a nice .22 revolver for me? PLEASE?! Ok, maybe not.
