Positive:
- It looks like it would print different than a "typical S&W" in a pocket holster, so more "camoflage".
- I'm not much of a revolver shooter, so this makes the grip more "pistol-like"
- If you are a new shooter, it may be more "ergonomic"

Negative:
- It looks thicker than a standard grip, so less "concealment" in a pocket
- For me, my muscle memory is built up on 1911s, HiPowers, SIGs and Glocks. I need to consciously adjust my grip for a Luger. This is a more pronounced angle than a Luger, so not as good for me.

For the illustrated example gun, with a barrel so short that sights are like fins on a Cadillac for all the good they'll do, sure, why not?

For any weapon where one would actually be aiming before firing, as opposed to sticking it in someone's belly or face, not so much.

For 20 bucks, it looks like it'd be worth buying just to try it. I may do so.

My concern would be the angle/shape of the grip...it just looks like it would be easy to "squirt" out of the hand.

It was $16 on Amazon, and I have prime so... Will post back upon receipt.

Grips on a J-Frame are so individual that what works for one won't work for another. We've probably got a half-dozen J-frames in the family and everyone's grip is different. It's neat to watch us pass around revolvers on the patio after Sunday lunch. If someone has new J-frame grips we've all got to try it and give an opinion.

If it works for you, buy several. You never know when they'll be out of stock.

The grip came in today - not sure there are any J frames around here, but there are some in TX, where I will be, shortly.

It is HUGE. I would think people w. large hands would like it, as I should actually be able to get a two handed grip on it.

Personally, the grip angle looks odd, as if, if I were to hold it with a normal firing grip, the barrel would be pointed at the ceiling. Don't know if that makes sense, sort of that I'd have to tip my wrist way down to get the barrel horizontal.
