I have a few questions which I was unable to answer by searching their site; so I thought I'd ask them here.

Is this grip-

One piece?

Mount in the same fashion as the OEM grip?

Mount solidly on the gun?

Wider or longer than OEM grip?

More or less prone to cling to clothing?

I pack a 2 1/8" SP101 in .357 pretty regularly in warm weather, and mostly shoot it with full-snort .357 loads. It's an excellent snub and plenty accurate with most loads; certaily viable to 25 yards or a bit further. I've shot bigbores for about 30 years and I don't find recoil with any .357 problematic. I do note that the factory grip tends to point a little high for me in 'yank & blast' shooting, and a filler behind the trigger guard cures this. The Compac seems to be a good compromise of good, established revolver grip qualities- and concealability.

Your observations based upon first-hand with this grip, on this gun, are requested. Any & all responses within those parameters are greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
