Hello. I've been playing around with my SP-101 (327 Fed, manufactured within the last year-ish) lately and have come to a conclusion. I really like the gun, and really _want_ to like the gun, but I can't get a consistent hold on the thing. Partly because of this, it doesn't naturally point right for me at all.
This seems to be due to grip shape. It's too square in profile; specifically it's too short front to back. I could also stand for it to be slightly more vertical (more like a 1911A1), but I'd say the number one issue is I need more length front to back.
What would you all suggest I try, based on your experience, to get a more rectangular (longer front-to-back) grip for this gun? Is a Hogue the one I need? A Pachmayr? Some other brand, whether I've ever heard of it or not?
I may have materials preferences, but for the moment I'd like to focus on shape first, then think about materials from the available choices.
Now, to be clear, I am aware that one can practice and practice and adapt to lots of things. I also know that I'm not going to do that in order to adapt to this gun. It's only one of the handguns I have and like to shoot, and the others are all quite uniform in their basic grip shape, so that's the standard (for lack of a better term) I have and choose to stick with.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
