Here's a gun writer's take on the grips which he handled (but did not shoot) at SHOT.
New Product spotlight: ERGO Grips Delta revolver grip | Gun Nuts Media
Looks interesting and I would like to hear how it shoots also.

My god that's ugly! I just couldn't bring myself to put that on my J Frame. I don't care how good it feels my hand. But that's just me. To each his own.

For years I have considered making a wood set of stocks for a J-Frame very much like those, I will have to try them. Ugly, very! But it's a very natural grip if your middle finger knuckle hits the back of the trigger guard and gets the beans beat out of it!
** As a matter of fact I was going to order one just now, $19.95 on their web-store, but they want a minimum of $12.38 shipping!!!!!! Forget it.

Thats bought the ugliest grip I've ever saw. None will ever reside here.
From the article: "My initial impressions are pretty good. Yes, it's ugly. But I don't carry a j-frame to impress people with how pretty my gun is, I carry it to shoot smelly badguys in the face in defense of my life."
Ha, ha. "smelly bad guys".

It looks all wrong, but I am intrigued and I'd like to try it.

I don't care for the looks, but I bought my j frames to shoot so I might give one a try. I don't need the bad guy to being all ooh and ahh over how nice my revolver looks.
Ugly Grip!
May be but, picture a set crafted by one of the stock makers on this forum and made from one of the exotic woods they have access to, you may be surprised very pleasantly, never say never!

I ordered on a few days ago. Hopefully it will ship soon and I can give a report.
I handled it last month. I hated the way it felt. It alters the angles at which you hold he firearm. If firing from the hip or a retention position it felt all wrong.
However they are sending me a sample and I will give it a fair shake.
It is going to be one of those things that if you start with it on your first gun it will feel OK, but if you are changing to it after 10 or 20 or 30 years you won't like it.
It is made from the same material as the AR grip.

I believe it was Walter Roper (or perhaps it was Steve Herrett) who observed that if you take your empty hand and clasp it as if grasping a gun, the shape of the empty space inside your hand resembles an ice cream cone, similar to the shape of this grip- narrow at the bottom and wider at the top.
The problem with mimicking this when it comes to handgun grips, however, is that while such a shape seems, on the surface, to be a natural choice, a grip shaped like this will tend to swim upwards (raising the bore axis) and out of the hand as pressure is applied to due the hand firmly grasping the grip and/or recoil. This might not be quite as apparent with a sticky rubber grip but a smooth hard grip shaped like this Ergo grip would be a nightmare trying to keep ahold.
There's a reason most grips are shaped larger at the bottom than at the top, however counterintuitive it may look (keeping in mind the ice cream cone). With such a grip recoil or grasping pressure forces the grip down in the hand, keeping the hand high on the gun and lowering the bore axis, which is far more preferable.

I received my grips Monday and have used them on two occasions to the range. My 442 does point quicker without having to tweek the sight picture. The grip reduces the perceived recoil a bit. The 442 feels very solid in the hand. Since it is narrower than the Pachmayr I usually have on the 442 it conceals in a breast pocket and Simply Rugger very well. And, as a bonus, so far I shoot a tad more accurately. I told the manufacturer that I will order two more for my LCR's, .22 and .357, I'm so pleased.
