At first glance this looked a bit odd, but after some critical examination of the design and the subtle geometry, I'm inclined to think this may be a great J-Frame grip.

You've seen the TV shows with the spring loaded sleeve where the gun drops out of the guy's coat/shirt sleeve into his hand? With the .357 and one of these grips you get the opposite effect, when you shoot it the gun flies straight up your sleeve stopping somewhere around the armpit.

....it does at first look funny but in trying to imagine it in my had that may work...

So I got my hand wrapped around this rocket with a 300 MPS velocity and acceleration of 2 x 10(5) Meters per second that is shoving back into my wrist bone then naturally I want to put that package into something the size of a small apple that I cannot grip as well! I will get this and put it right next to my cough suppressor, Butt Out tool, Tink's smokin sticks and other weird but useless gun and hunting talisman.

I�d like to see some slow motion video before passing judgement.

I'm guessing you'll shoot high.

functional if you decide to punch someone when you run out of bullets.

Maybe they could integrate brass knuckles into the design?

Looks like it would be good for holding the gun at waist height, hip shooting

Sort of like a LeMat revolver...

I'll pass.

Not much to hold on to...good way to get dis-armed

I'll grant you it's a bit non-traditional looking, but it's designed to fit the human hand; a reduced finger reach requires a tapered grip.

There's MORE to hold on to not less - and they've done it without adding too much to the overall dimensions of the gun.

I tried one at the SHOT show---very comfortable BUT you have to cant your hand (bend your wrist) down to point/aim the gun and see the sights----the nice thing is that they're cheap so you can try it w/o breaking the bank---it would definitely take getting used to IMO.

Then why did they jack up a nice J frame, instead of tossing them on a chiappa rhino? 'non-traditional' would seem to go better on 'non-traditional'......

They may look better on a charter arms bulldog?

Bleh...

My thoughts exactly. You can even see how much the guys wrist is bent in the pics a couple of posts up. Who ever came up with that was smoking crack.

It appears to me that the trigger finger is postioned way too high. Don't think I would be buying one.

It looks like it would point like a British Tower flintlock pistol, without the bulbous bludgeon cap on the end. The lack of the bludgeon cap should aid in concealability, plus you get the extra capacity of a repeating firearm.

No, actually, I suspect the Tower was designed for the grip angle, so the Tower would point better, but still not a repeater.
