Here are 2 overlays of the new P4 with the C2 and with the C. Clearly the trigger guard is much longer than on both. The grip angle is the same. The slide length is slightly different and a shorter hammer. What's interesting is the grip depths. The C2 depth is only slightly more. (The 2011 magazine is 0.1" deeper). The P4 grip is only slightly more than the C. The C is narrower than the C2. I have a CS and a full size and the width is probably the thing I notice the most.

Tossing in the P here. The grip depth is the same.

I think where the difference for me will be in the grip thickness and overall size - I’ve seen a few mentions that the P4 feels noticeably larger than a C24.
The width would be the biggest difference. I honestly think the feeling of difference depends on hand size and how you grip. People with smaller hands will feel there is a big difference. For me, the difference between the CS and C2 was so small I could barely tell. The only real difference was the weight. Now, you have a 28 oz C vs a 32 oz HD/
