The rest of my grip fits fine. The next size down would be too small everyplace else. A grip that needs a little whittling in one spot is not necessarily the wrong size.

My experience suggests that if Joker buys the next larger grip (which it sounds like he should), he may still have to trim the back corner of the palm rest. The larger grip will allow him to move the shelf up, but it will probably also extend back further, which could cause the same problem I have. I have a variety of grips on various pistols, and the Steyr grip is the one that gives me a biggest problem with the back edge of the palm rest. I recall having to do a little tweaking on some other brands, but not to the extent I have on the Steyr.

It does seem that there are three people in this thread complaining about their grips.

Actually, the grip is too large, in that it is overly long in the back. The problem is that the palm shelf extends so far back that the corner digs into my wrist when the pistol is angled down. I could solve the problem by cutting a quarter of an inch off the entire back of the grip, but radiusing the back edge of the palm rest involved removing a lot less wood.
