Well, the grip on the 360 tuns out to be just the original Bantam grip by Hogue. But, I can recall seeing something like a "Falcon" grip advertised with the new Bodyguard J frame revolver when it first made the S&W website. And I see the grip on some new J frames is something different than the old standby Uncle Mike's Boot Grip, which isn't bad in it's own right. But after a week carrying the Bantam around, I think I like it better. I'm sure those Trace grips are excellent. Never read a single complaint about them.
The three ounces difference between the Airweight and a 12 oz. Airlite mentioned by rdcraig by sure makes a lot of difference in recoil when shooting the same round. By the same token, you can sure feel those additional three ounces when carrying the Airweight.
