Makarov as a CCW- grips?

Ladies and Gents, I have begun carrying my Bulgarian Makarov as one of my CCW weapons. I have a Galco Softuk holster that works wonderfully with my typical non-work attire (can't carry at work).

I feel comfortable shooting with my factory grips, but I have considered switching to a set of aftermarket rubber grips to possibly improve grip and protect the original grips.

Should I get the replacements? If so, what does TFL reccomend?

EDIT: While I didn't intend for this to be a Makarov Picture Party, I guess, as the OP, I don't mind at all.

9x18 Makarov bullets.

Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets!

BT Sniper made me a die to change the shape of a Berry's .364 RN for the 9x18 Makarov. I sent him a drawing of what I wanted and he delivered.

Here is a picture of the before and after bullets and the new bullet loaded in 9x18 cases. (Made from 9mm Parabellum brass.)

Listen! Do you hear it. The roar of cannons, the screams of the dying! Ahh! Music to my ears!
Interesting. How do they shoot?
Interesting. How do they shoot?About the same as the round nose versions, I am going to have to tweek the loads some to get the optimum accuracy out of these. I think I will get the best accuracy using AA#7, if I can find any.
