Anyone here accustomed to using different grips to shoot different guns? If so, do you have a problem quickly going from one gun to another? Is it wise to have different grips for different guns?
I originally picked up an interest in the M&P lineup because I wanted to move from a thumbs locked down grip to the thumbs-forward competition grip that I learned. I found that the natural shrinking and swelling of my hands with the changes in weather, during workouts, etc. etc. had a big effect on my ability to thumbs-forward grip my Glock. When my hands were swollen the grip was natural but when they weren't (as in right after waking up, etc), the grip wasn't natural nor secure. The M&P's larger backstrap accomodates my hands whether they shrink or swell.
Well, my Glock is still my CCW gun but after 6 months of dedicated practice using the thumbs-forward grip, I still don't have an answer as to how to make the grip work with warm and cold hands. It's enough of an issue that I've gone back to thumbs locked down for the time being until I can decide what to do with my M&P (most likely will sell/trade it).
So I'm kinda in limbo here. If I go with a small revolver like a 642 as a CCW gun then I'd definitely use a thumbs locked down grip. If I pick up another full sized gun that accomodates my hands better, I'll go thumbs-forward.
