Could you clarify your terminology?
In 1911's Wilson has Full Size, Professional size, they also now offer a Commander size, and Compact size frames (I think the Sentinal may be yet another size).

At least in 1911's "Combat Carry" size is not one I'm familiar with.

Are you asking about SIG P320 models?

This new use of "grip module" to mean "integrated frame and grip" is still bending my brain.
It is because the frame of the SIG P320 is the chassis of the Fire Control Unit...for the purpose of ATF serialization. The grip module can't be the frame...it is much like the STI/SVI polymer grip modules
My mistake.
I was referring to Sig 320 grip module. Apparently " carry" is size medium slide.
It's a bit confusing because they are categorized by slide length AND grip size.
Can mix & match slide assemblies and grip modules but not ever combination will work.
Apparently Sig is trying really hard to turn me into a Glock fan.
Sorry for any confusion caused by my erroneous nomenclature
when I get off shift I'll try to remember to post a pic.

Medium is relative when there are four lengths of slides...3.6", 3.9", 4.7", and 5"
A bit more clear when you think of them chronologically:
1. Full Size (FS) - 4.7" barrel/slide and 17rd magazine
2. Compact - 3.9" barrel/slide and 15rd magazine
3. Sub-compact - 3.6" barrel/slide and 12rd magazine
4. Carry - 3.9" barrel/slide with 17rd magazine and shortened dustcover
5. M17 - 4.7" barrel/slide and Carry grip module
6. M18 - same as Carry <edited>
7. X-Five - 5" barrel/slide and FS grip module (but recontoured) and addition of an enlarged magazine well/funnel
8. X Carry - 4.7" barrel/slide and recountoured Carry grip module
9. X Compact - 3.6" barrel/slide and recontoured Compact grip module
10. AXG - Carry size with alloy grip module
They'll work, just might look a little awkward

Just to clarify, the M18 is the same as the "CARRY" and not the compact.
Oops, you're right...thanks for the correction...it is just a difference in slide/barrel from the M17
I'll go back and correct the original

Yup -- what you're talking about is essentially the M17 configuration, as seen here:

The Wilson grip module feels great in the hand...better than I expected, given that it is based on the Sm Grip Module.
But when I took it out shooting last week, I was very disappointed...compared to the SIG X-grip. Because of the curve of the beavertail, it doesn't allow as high a grip. The thinnest of the grip allows it to jump around more in the hand...it also tends to compress quite a bit.
I tried it with 3 different FS slide assemblies...Stock 4.7", 4.7" Grey Ghost, and a 4.7" SIG Pro-Cut slide
