A comfortable and good looking grip. Problem is, they're not cleared for speedloader use.
Or at least mine wasn't. HKS J-frame speedloader would get wedged up tight with the cartridge noses slightly inserted in the cylinder holes (at an angle) and the speedloader rim jammed against the protruding left side of the rubber grip. Activating the speedloader at that point would spill the rounds, not drop them home.
Thus I would counsel against the use of the Pachmayr Compac for a J-frame CCW gun. If it's a range gun, sure, go ahead -- you can reload manually. Or perhaps you or a gunsmith could go at it with a grinding tool to wear away some of the obstructing grip material -- I've heard of others doing this.
I used to like Pachmayrs but more and more I find that Hogue makes better products across the board.
The Fitz grips are excellent(I am dating myself here), and the Pachmayr Compact Professional will place your pinky, and are thin enough for speedloaders, and conceal well. I use them on my J and K frame RB guns.
Here's my Model 60 357 2 1/8" bbl. Maybe you can see the Pachmayr Compac Pro's? If not the second "rough" pic before the polishing shows them well.
You'll find that your pinky naturally grips the front bottom of the grip and doesn't dangle. If you have smaller hands, it might even be better, I have your average large hands. They conceal very nicely.
I've tried a bunch of different grips for my J frames and came to realize, I liked the old service stocks the best. Add a "T" grip and all was wonderful. No bulk, no snag, and a good grip.
