One of the advantages of the enclosed humpback snubbie is that one can get a higher purchase on the frame and reduce the bore axis.
So I did some drawings a while back and came up with my own unique design to take advantage of that concept. The grip has a high overhang so that my hand goes naturally high into the curve. The rounded backstrap hump also forces the hand into the high position. I have a medium hand and can get all three fingers on the frontstrap of the grip.
I convexed the front of the grip like a birdshead grip to help with recoil and rounded the backstrap like a birdshead for easier concealment.
I roughed out this grip last night and am just playing with the design concept.
It may not be to everyone's asthetic taste, but if you don' experiment, you won't get anything new!
But regardless of how it looks, it sure feels good in the hand. Testing with various loads will be the detemining factor. Just did a quick sanding and color stain as it's only a model to see where i am going with this project.
Good or bad, what's you thoughts?
