    I like to shoot most guns with Nills but the N frame still feels blocky.

    Nills always feel great, no matter the platform, but they tend to be thick. Obviously, you know that but I note it for those who haven't experienced them.

    I find round-butt N-frames tend to feel much better, much less blocky, especially if you use some thinner grips like the Hogue Bantam. Of course, recoil can become a problem with the loudenboomers but there's a tradeoff in everything.

    Some Nills are slimmer than others. Nill has a lot of models and the target grips are usually wider than the carry grips. Almost twenty years ago my youngest son fell in love with my old bowling pin gun, the S&W 625. It had been IDPA legal for a while even and I used it for IDPA matches until they banned five inch barrels. He was about ten years old and I told him if he could put six rounds on a 9" paper plate at ten yards, reload, shoot another six and hit with all shots that the gun would be his. I timed it and he had 15 seconds but did it in about 12 seconds.

    I got him a set of Nills for it that are great!
