Excaliber, that is an interesting experience, as I have those same Hogue wraparound grips on my Kimber Ultra. I have not had the issue you mention, but I have been thinking about going back to the original grips anyway, or possibly a CT grip set. The Hogue grips definitely make the pistol fatter in the hand, and while this doesn't make it any harder to shoot, it does actually make it a tiny bit less concealable. With the original grips, the pistol was quite slim. Not so much anymore.

My reason for using the Hogue grips is that I am left handed, and the front strap of the stainless Ultra is very slick. So maintaining a good grip while shooting is harder because the gun wants to slip in my strong hand under recoil. I wouldn't be so bothered by this, but it causes my wedding band to come in contact with the metal of the front strap, and it leaves a small mark there. So I'm going to put the original flat rubber grips back on, and try to make some grip tape work on that front strap.
