I did a quick search and saw nothing about this. In the interest of public service I thought I'd post a note about this popular new product:
I decided to give it a whirl and ordered one of each size. They both work very well and represent a real improvement over standard profile CH's. BUT... the larger unit has a real tendency to pinch since there is a petty good-sized gap that tends to get filled by the operator's skin. That gap gets closed as the latch is put under tension during retraction of the handle.
I shoot in a warm dry climate, so I only wear gloves during classes or heavy shooting days. Gloves might help, but if you are like me and shoot w/o gloves, beware that the bigger CH has a tendency to bite. YMMV of course.
