I would rather have someone else answer this question. However, all open grip guns are not POW. A true Woodward POW is rather long in configuration, with the cap area flat and parallel to the rib, not slanted as on most capped pistol grip guns. The capped area, rather than protruding from the bottom line of the stock, blends into it. Of course, my idea of what a POW grip is may be all wrong.
