What are your thoughts on them? They seem to fit my hand pretty well.

Not many people love them ..... I have small hands and they fit me perfect . I shoot 1 gun in each hand in SASS/ CAS and I put my little finger under bottom of grip which keeps the gun from rolling in my hand for fast recocking and followup shot .   |

Beauty and feel is in the eye of the beholder and the hand of the holder. For me the birdshead looks good but feels bad..  I do have a brass birdshead in the parts set that I'm thinking might come close to passing my feel test if I can take about 25%-33% of the thickness away.. |

Being used to shooting all sorts of different handguns, they are just that - different. They do however make for a more compact total package. I carry my .32 mag Single Six BH in a crossdraw holster and stays out of the way.
When hunting pretty much anything on my hip gets in the way. Just a matter of when and how.

I had a a brass one on an old model 41 midframe copnversion. Looks neat, felt neat to the hand but not fun for me to shoot.

Well I picked one up but have not shot it yet. I does feel pretty good in the hand. I hope I can remain accurate with it.

I love 'em and have several. At least for me, they don't work well with heavy loads. But that's OK, I do a lot of shooting with moderate loads! The short barrel and bird's head grip combine to make a nice sixgun for concealed carry.

I have a 3-1/2" Thunderer in 44 Special, it's a NEAT and accurate little sixgun!

I don't really care for them, but I have pretty big mitts.

This one was comfortable and pointed well for me:  This one looked pretty but did not point well and seemed to amplify recoil:  I like the fact that they seem to conceal better than traditional square-butt grips, but I suppose whether a given grip works on a given gun for me just depends on how it fits. |
