Every set of wood (and some other materials) that I've owned in 54 years of shooting has been modified in some way, from refinishing to complete reshaping. "Thinning down some grips" leaves a lot of room for conjecture. Are they 1911 panels for old slabsides, finger grooved combats for a revolver...? This has gotten to be a "sub-hobby" - almost as pleasureable as reloading. You could probably do them yourself with little investment, and a good return in satisfaction. Plus, you will know when they are "right" for you, while the job is in process. Included in "all the grips" above, were a couple of sets made to my handprint by a very good man, and they still needed just a tad of personal attention.
