Is this possible?
I ask because the grip on my 15-2 only seems to show up on large frame guns. It is a zebra-wood with DW medallions & a smooth (no checkering) finish.

The cut for the frame is square, but there is a very sloppy fit to the frame bottom behind the trigger guard, but the metal to wood fit everywhere else is excellent.

These things combined got me curious. Was this style of grip made for both or what?

The smooth zebras are less common than the checkered variety.  I have a set of small frame smooth grips also.  They are not interchangeable between the two frame sizes.

I had lb make my set of small frame grips the same outer dimension as large frame smooth target grips. I'll try to get pics in the next couple of days.
