I've got really big Palms and actually like the standard J frame round butt grips this is an aesthetic question
Yes or No aesthetically on these grips for EDC.

I vote "no" on the aesthetic or eye-pleasing properties of those grips.
They look too much like the finish on the gun itself, which makes them look NOT like separate grip panels, but rather like they are an integral part of the gun but with scallops / fluting / or lightning cuts machined into them (that's where the white streaks come in).
But if this is a practical daily carry pistol that is destined to get nicked and scratched up and have a worn finish, then I won't really care what the grips look like as long as they fit my hand correctly.
Personally, all my Smith and Wesson snobby revolvers have Crimson trace laser grips on them the kind that has the same dimensions as a "boot grip. "
The bottom of the gun's grip frame is exposed, and so is the backstrap,
but the front is filled in with a little extra material between that and the back of the trigger guard.

Aesthetics don't mean crap when it comes to the target.... this is just pandering for accolades for cool looking grip panels..It is strictly a question about aesthetic, I could wrap them in duct tape if that would make you happy

Not my taste, but the craftsmanship is g2g. Also, some texturing would be nice.
I agree. A nice set of Hogue affiliated grips for any revolver are the better option. Better hand purchase and retention. Who cares about exotic woody hard-on fancy stuff..

Well you're asking about aesthetics... so... they look a little... um.... how shall I say it.... "shriveled".
But if it gets the abuse you claim who cares what it looks like? Are you whipping it out all the time to show strangers?

Point taken is not important to you
It was a curiosity issue my life doesn't revolve around it I'm not whipping out to get anyone's approval I can take the criticism I can say this there are a lot smoother and they don't snag...
The best part for me is I can use them as a template after I fit them properly
