Totally agree!
My Charter Arms Lavender Lady 38 special I picked up at a pawn shop came with Crimson Trace laser grips. I thought, cool, laser grips. What a joke! It was like a laser light show stuck on hyper mode, just a stupid distraction on a gun like this. So I bought some Pachmyer rubber grips and sold the lasergrips on ebay.

The Pachmyer's cover a little more real estate than the CTCs and the bottom finger notch is much more defined, so a much better grip. Now I have a good firm grip on the thing and almost covered the price of the gun!

I'll def try the semi wad cutter ammo, haven't tried that yet.
