yes it is. I'd place it between the holeshot and 12gauge in size. it might be same size as hallow point. I haven't looked at specs to compare bezel sizes.
Yes they are raised. I've never been a fan of the gearbox due to its knob. I have a 12gauge which I absolutely loved but started to get a callus from it rubbing. This seems to make up for it. Large, light, more casual, and custom options. Can't go wrong.
