I'm a newbie to this site, but have been a shooter for 25 years. Anyways...
I recently bought a M&P Compact in .40 and am looking for something that has the pinky extension that also extends the below the frame tool. I have extra large hands, so it bites the palm of my hand when I shoot.
I'm not looking for an X-Grip or other "plus __" extension, rather something that does for the palm what the pinky extension does for the fingers. Basically I'm looking for an extra 1/2 to 3/4" baseplate that isn't angled to maintain concealment.

My Google-Fu is strong, but I couldn't find anything. Does this exist? If not, why? I can't be the only person with this issue. No problems with a Shield or 4.25"- just the compact

You might try Pearce Grips. They don't offer much for S&W, though.

No. My issue is that the frame tool bites into the palm of my hand. I want something to add an additional ~1/2" below the frame tool.
The factory mag with a finger rest adds extra space for your fingers, but not the palm of your hand- the floor plate is angled and I don't understand why.
I want something like the baseplate below for a compact, not a shield

Another solution is to buy the full size, 17-round magazine and an XGrip adaptor which gives it the same shape as the full size M&P 40c. I have it for my M&P 9c and it works great. This is the magazine I take to the range and I use my 12-round magazines with the pinky extension for conceal carry with the full size magazine for backup.

Thanks for the response. The X-Grip + 15rd mag (.40) will add more to the grip than I want, affecting concealment.
My ultra compact PF9 has one of these mags available (from the factory) that adds +1 and a only half inch in grip length- making it a whole new firearm to shoot with XL hands, but barely changing the profile.

How about buying an extra back strap locker inner thingy and some epoxy and making your own extension? Assuming it will stick (you need to verify) either PC7 or JB Weld is nice and thick once mixed so could easily be formed in place. Rough up the surface first and then make your glob over sized so you can file/sand it to shape. To aid in the glob staying put, you could drill the existing piece on either side and opposite of the rod, and screw in a couple of small machine screws so they would be an internal reinforcement for you add-on extension. I added a thumb rest to a plastic grip panel maybe 6 years ago and it's still there.

Not a bad idea. I have considered making a mold and doing just that with the whole "pinky extension" baseplate.
I can't be the only person with this issue and find it odd that no one markets this already.
Hell, I sold an original first year, mint, Flattop Blackhawk .44 because no one made XR3 (not "Red") grip extensions for it. That thing cut into the palm of my hand to the point I couldn't shoot it.
Most pistols weren't designed with the guy who could palm a basketball at age 12 in mind.

Thread revival with update...
I was plugging a tire and realized the plug tool's handle looked very familiar. I put them sided by side and sure enough, it was a perfect match. I used some JB Weld and epoxy'ed the two pieces together. It now feels a LOT better in my hand. Remember that I was able to palm a basketball at age 12 and wear 14EEEE shoes.
It ain't very pretty to look at, but it is a heck of a lot more comfortable. I am much more concerned with a comfortable grip and conceal-ability than a handsome pistol.
I will do some finer sanding for better fitment.
