As some Springfield Armory pistols have a grip safeties they do not make a specific grip,
There is another solution that may work for you?
As you can see, the grip safety is still exposed.
As some Springfield Armory pistols have a grip safeties they do not make a specific grip,I want to get a Hogue or Pachmeyer grip for my 10mm XDm in FDE to match the pistol, 4.5 inch barrel. Will the Hogue 17303 fit? It’s not clear.
One call to Hogue tech support said yes, the response to an email said no, and on their website they show it fitting a 45acp but fitting a bit lower than the trigger guard.
I have a Hogue on my P365 which I like, and am not familiar with the Pachmeyer grips.
Thanks.

For "Afro-engineering" it looks awesome.Despite multiple emails from Hogue saying it would not fit, with a little trimming on the bottom- it fits. Model 17303 in desert tan is close enough to the factory fde.
I want to keep the top well below the safety so if it does slide upwards, it will not interfere with the safety.
As far as the bottom, as a friend of my son told me when we were hunting ducks at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge , “there’s no points for pretty out here, Bill”. As my defensive weapon for grizzers here in Montana (bear spray doesn’t work if the wind is swirling or in your face), it’s between me, the beast and meeting Jesus long before I die of old age.
I hope this helps somebody else out.

Yes, I use a Hogue grip with beavertail for my Ruger "Security 9" on my Sig P-365 and it works perfect.It took me a few seconds to figure out Afro-engineering!
I don’t know if Hogue sells a grip with a beavertail. That’s what I have on my P365.
Their tech support discouraged that saying it might rip if I tried.

I wonder if this Hogue grip could fit on my SA XDm 10mm with its thicker mag like a glock 40 10mm?I’d order one of them and modify it to fit. 17303 is desert tan, it comes in other colors on amazon. For the price, it’s not a big risk. I liked the Hogue rubber feel instead of a tape with texture/stipple.
When you cannot find what you are looking for maybe "Afro Engineering" will do just fine.Post what you decide, enquiring minds are wondering.
I should receive them in 11 days.If you like it on your AR, see if it fits your pistols.
Good shooting!
Ok, I got the two rubber slip-on today and installed them on my XDm Elite 10mm compact and my Sig P-365 xlI should receive them in 11 days.
Yes the rubber sleeve is awesome on my AR grip and did not make grip too fat.
Nice! Post when you’ve trimmed it.
My concern would be it interfering with the grip safety.
Exactly, grip safety is always compressed. I still have trigger safety that must be engaged to fire.It appears from the picture you posted the sleeve is over the the lower 1/2 of the safety and pushing it into the ‘firing’ position. It can not move outwards to the ‘safe’ position.
