True. But, I found the biggest difference between these two is the grip area. The Compact is slim, yet comfortable and a relatively common shape, while the Bridges (which I really liked as well) is VERY slim from side to side and has a very high top, sloping to the comb. (Hope that makes sense) It definitely has a unique shape to it.

I believe you can still order them from J. Earl Bridges himself or though Hill Country Rifles.


I did not like the Bridges pattern for the same reason. Think of the typical grip shape as resembling the radius of the big end of a chicken egg. The Bridges is more like the pointy end, or even tighter. Just didn't feel right in the web of my hand.
