Finally opted for an extended grip for my cowboy, Have had the derringer for quite some time but found shooting 45 and 410 rounds caused slippage on recoil. Tried skate board tape but that can rub you raw also. settled on the double star extended grip, attractive, well designed and certainly helps control the recoil. The grip isn’t gauddy and has some very nice checkering panels which feels good in the hand. I have one gripe, should have gotten these grips years ago. Definitely a keeper.
