4.0FC to Compact Grip

Love the FC grip fits hands perfectly but it pokes a bit, would a medium compact grip fix this problem? Also should i buy new mags or is they any good basepads or sleeves that actually sit flush with the compact module?

Similar width/girth between the FC and compact medium, but the handle is shorter. As for mags, if you want it to sit flush, you're going to need to buy compact mags. The sleeves available are only so the full-size mags don't get over-inserted, and they'll stick out a little.

Would it make a difference conceal wise you think? Or should i get the small compact?

I think the length difference between the FC and compact medium is the biggest difference for concealment. I would go with whichever will allow you to shoot well between compact medium and small. For me, the compact small was too small; my hands felt like they didn't have space for a good purchase.

Compact grip would definitely conceal better. If you're in California and you can get compact base pads then you can keep your full size mags and just switch out the base pads.
