Yah.  I had a Taurus PT99.  I took off the stock wooden grips and put
on a set of Pachmayrs.  I liked the Taurus a lot.  It was a damn nice
gun, I just couldn't shoot straight with it.  My friends shot nice
tight groups with it, but I couldn't get it comfortable in my hands.
I didn't like the idea of having a gun that everyone but myself could
shoot, so I traded it.

Your mileage will vary.
