Fighting the good fight
| I haven't tried a RX slide specifically, but I've tried my Compact slide on a Subcompact frame. Personally, I don't like the SC grip. The geometry of the SC grip is fairly different from the Compact grip, so it doesn't fit my hand well. In addition, the abbreviated beavertail hits my thumb knuckle just right when shooting, which makes it a bit painful to shoot after a couple magazines. However, it doesn't feel unbalanced. The extra half inch or so of slide length doesn't make much of a difference compared to the SC slide. And the good news is that the grips are only ~$40, and can be resold fairly easily, so there's no real downside to giving it a shot for yourself. |

| I love this set up, extremely easy to cc. This is w/ 17 round x-grip, excellent balance and the grip is very snug and doesn't slide like the 15 round xgrip |

Did you check the classifieds for a subcompact grip module?
If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion.
