Correct. Both the M17 (full length slide) and M18 (compact slide) use the same Carry-sized grip module.

Nope. No gap at all. My Full Size slide lives on a Carry frame 24/7.
The extra length and rail slots on the Full Size grip module are totally unnecessary. Even weaponlights or lasers don't need the extra rail space at the front; they fit just fine on Carry/Compact grips.
Same with Full Size slide on a Compact grip. Still no gap, just a slightly shorter grip. Sig even sold this configuration from the factory for a period. It was known as the "P320 Compact FLS". (FLS = full length slide)
However, if you put a Full Size slide on a Subcompact grip module, then a small sliver of the recoil spring is exposed. It still functions fine, though.
