If you have had the chance to palm a Springfield XD9 Subcompact, the first thing you notice is that your pinkie finger is off in space. Now, I adjusted my grip and am able to get my whole hand around it, but it is not comfortable to do that.

Friends that were handed the gun disliked the 10rnd magazine with the missing pinkie, but were pleased with the 16rnd magazine that has the grip extension which makes the 9mm-SC completely solid for the full hand. But I didn't like the extra inch of handle. (remember, we want 'small' here!)

I picked up a Pearce Grip Extension, a mag floorplate replacement that adds a schosh over a 1/4" lip to the forward grip.
Fantastic! This little $10 accessory made a *huge* difference.
I handed the pistol to the Spousal Unit, and she who has no interest in guns (except the cash outflow) said "Wow, that a really comfortable grip!"

I then scampered off to try my dry-firing exercises, and found that I had *improved* trigger and sight control.

The plastic material is very solid and quality formed, matches the grip perfectly, and took 1 minute to install without tools.

Highly recommended for the SubCompact XD.
