I'm not much for slip on grips but I came across the LimbSaver's for the Glock 19/ Walther PPK today and said what the heck. What I saw was that the rubber is much thicker than most slip on grips plus it ran up to the dove tail of the frame. I bought this little gun to tinker with for a Poo mans Walther PP because of the good reviews that I read on this forum. Not wanting to spend a 3rd of the cost of the gun for new grips I was going to build flat grips or live with it just due to the fact like 6 million others I'm laid off.
When I got it I completely striped the gun buffed all the parts and clipped the hammer spring to lesson DA pull then ordered a 15# wolf spring. After that I tested it and felt that I was good to go just with normal slight stinging recoil. I knew that if I could drop the web of the hand down a bit I would probably just make it that much better.
I slipped the new grip on and didn't have to worry about tearing the rubber grip like other brands that I've used before. But what I found is it seat the web of my hand down about an 1/8 inch placing the gun more centered allowing the thumb to ride lower than with the thumb rest. Were I thought I was going to need too epoxy the left grip and grind it flat I didn't need to. If you can stand the grip to be a little thicker this is a cheap way to go and shoots like my beloved Bersa 380 as fare as felt recoil. The only problem that I've found is the mag release is a little harder to reach but on a good note the reach to the trigger is perfect for me.
I figured I would share this new find for those who would like to try it.
The Pics are not that good there from my phone because the wife has the camera
