Are the new Airweight grips the same as the other J frame?

Just a quick question, I know the "old" Airweight had a thinner grip frame, but do the new ones also have this thinner frame?

I only ask because I am thinking of picking up a hammerless Airweight and want to use Barami Hip Grips, just wanted to make sure they are the same as the standard J-frame.

my 442 grips are the same as my 36 and my 649

It was the aluminum Airweight K-frames, not J-frames, that had a thinner than standard frame.

OK thank you! This helps a lot.

I was previously not a fan of alloy frame revolvers, but for the summer I'm looking for something light to use for IWB carry with shorts, windpants, etc. I had been using my older pinned Model 60 but I gave this gun to my Dad

I love the Hip Grip and it's very handy. Having no j-frame in my CC lineup leaves me with a void, now that the weather is getting warmer and I no longer wear big sweatshirts to hide a K-frame like my 4" Model 64's.
