How is the grip on the HC compared to single stack?

For the price, I am totally impressed with mine, an all around great weapon

How is the grip on the HC compared to single stack?

A bit thicker /wider...as you might imagine, but not bad.

I have large hands...so I have no problem.

YMMV...

For all the bells and whistles you get...and a Series 70 trigger !?

Very Impressed Indeed.

  I have a MS model (4.25") that I'm fairly happy with. I still have occasional ftf/fte that I can't figure out. Using Tripp mags,flat bottom fps and all stock springs. Love shooting it though!

It's a bit more challenging for carry. In most cases I dress around what I'm carrying if needed, but this thing is a beast, and works best in the winter for me
Thanks

Looking forward a long term (500 rnd+) report.

Also curious to see if you develop a limp while carrying 

[Kenk]

Absolutely will 😀
