Don't let the grips on a revolver prevent you buying it. Just get some grips that fit you properly. When I bought my Dan Wesson, it had target grips. I shot it once that way. They were much too large. I replaced them with Hogue soft rubber monogrips. They have finger groves, and being soft, they absorb a lot of the shock, especially with the more stout loads.
Note: Some people don't like the sticky feeling of the soft rubber, and say that they are slower in a "panic" draw. I prefer them, and find that smooth wood grips to be too slippery. To each their own, I guess.
