Not totally. In fact, the round and "birdshead" grips (not the same thing) provide a good hold on the gun. The wide bottom grip (Colt SAA, S&W & Colt square butt) is not a good shape for holding onto the gun since most of the grip is at the bottom of the hand (opposite the thumb) and there is little gripping force in that area. The more modern versions of the "birdshead" are the Hogue grips favored by many people (not by me) on small revolvers, and they are not chosen solely for concealability.
