With the folding handle, I draw the pistol out of the pocket right handed, grab the frame with my left hand, pull the handle down and grasp it, then cock the hammer with my right thumb.
With the original handle, I draw the pistol out of the pocket right handed, hold down my right pocket with my left hand to prevent the holster from coming out with the pistol. Adjust my grasp to the smaller handle and cock the hammer with my right thumb.
The major difference that I notice is the folding grip gives me more of a handful and I seem to hold the pistol steadier as I cock the hammer and sight it.
A problem with the folding handle is the clip. It is so tight it catches on the seam around my pocket. I am thinking about grinding the end of the clip down so that it is smoother and doesn't catch. Right now I just let it slide into my pocket without using the clip. If that is the solution, I'll just take the clip off and maybe try to get a filler with the logo from NAA.
