So I got the 3 interchangeable palm swells. Trying them all out. Medium too fat. Small better. But the most comfortable setup is none at all. I love the small grip feel. (I have small-medium hands). Is there anyone that makes a extra small grip swell/plug to cover up the grip internals?

I've heard you can shoot it in this form, but a plug/swell with some texture and fill in around the web of the hand would be nice.

I remember seeing a gun mag that featured a gunsmith who fills it in with epoxy. an option that isnt so permanent would be nice. but anyone have the name of that gunsmith by chance?

Aftermarket? I thought about hogue handall, but those have never been that great to use imo.

I believe a review of one of the M&P versions in Gun Test magazine mentioned doing this. It was in the last within the last year. Tom

When I got my FS 45 I was thinking the same thing. The bare grip felt great, size-wise. It seems that someone could make an extra-small one so you don't have to permanently alter the gun.

Might be worth buying another small grip and seeing just how far you can sand it down.

DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I HAVE
A M&P 40 COMPACT. I USE THE LARGE GRIP,THE SMALL
GRIP MAKES THE GUN FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO JUMP
OUT OF MY HAND. I GUESS THATS WHY THEY MADE 3
SIZES. HOPE YOU SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM AND ENJOY
YOUR GUN AS MUCH AS I DO.

DON IN TN.
