POW grip

1901 DH 12 pistol grip.

Any round knob grip used to be called a ball grip. Not long ago, we started getting particular and calling a round knob grip with a pronounced bulge at the end a "ball grip" and one without the bulge was just a round knob. I admit there is a difference.

So would we call Calvin's a ball grip and Dave's a non-capped pistol grip?

To clarify, I'm not making up names of grips, just reporting what is listed in the I&S Book. As usual I should have explained further. The 1901 12 ga is serial number 103929. It is described in the I&S Book as "P", for pistol grip. I'll try to take better pictures after daylight.
