To me, the appeal of the Hamr is that lengthening the backstrap would appear to facilitate strong hand only thumb cocking control and dexterity.
I had one with the Revision grip, but it wasn't deep enough for me.
I felt that lengthening the grip added little to quick handling.
Be so careful guys! I was working pocket draws with my little .22 Short, it slipped out of my grip after I was able to cock it, landed on the counter pointed at my stomach! I broke out in a sweat, took a couple deep breaths, said a quick prayer. Packed my shit up, walked in to the counter traded it for a loss.
I have a PUG now with a larger grip. I love tinkering with the littles but that was too close. I was worink with a tiny Iver Johnson one day, I pulled slide back to load and cock it and the round went off with chamber open, lots of little shrapnel, no injury. I got rid of most my little .25s.
It sounded like he was at the range and shooting drills from a pocket draw to actual shooting on target... and one got away from him.
Funny thing, when I was trying to do the 3 shots in one second thing off a draw I was concerned enough that I put soft armor in my pants when drawing from appendix.
Yeah, was actually goin slow from a low ready, tryin to get the cocking part down. It was all JCN fault🙂
Exposed trigger derringer type guns scare me. I knew a woman who carried a .45 derringer in her purse, loose. Her husband warned her multiple times that this was a bad idea. Then one day, she tipped the purse and the gun fell out onto the kitchen floor. It was cocked, and likely had been for a long time. Husband confiscated the derringer.

OT, but, I knew a guy who used the old school trick of suspending a dinky .22LR NAA mini off of a bore cleaning brush head sewn into back side of a necktie. Sounds retarded, but the gun stayed put. So did the tie, evidently.
The most powerful and harmful influence Trump has had on our politics…has been the effect on his opponents. They have been triggered into an orgy of self-mutilation—eager to amputate their own history and disfigure their own political traditions.
