I am using the SKU 18400 (18300 is the one recommended but I like the lower cutout portion for the mag on the 18400) from the Hogue website .. ... https://www.hogueinc.com/grips/handa...ail/m-p-shield made for the LC9. A bear to get on but is worth the trouble. As far as better recoil...not sure if it makes that much difference...just feels great though and gives the hand more control.
