It seems that Hammerli mark their grips as meaning a size smaller than the marking states. The Importers brought this to my attention, and even the website states that the large Hammerli grip is equal to Walthers medium, and the " XL " is equal to a "L" and so on.
The "L" feel exactly as a large grip feels from other manufacturers. ( to me ), even though Hammerli has gone to great lengths to claim it as a medium.
My question is.....does anyone have an SP20 with a grip marked as "M" , and approximately what width palm would it be suitable for ?
Hammerli sp20 grip sizing versus the rest

SP20 RRS Grip Size
My SP20 with the factory "L" grip fits my hand perfectly (100mm palm width.)
The factory "M" grip on both my GSP Expert and SSP are about 15% smaller than the Hammerli "L" grip, so probably close enough for the factory to say "equal."

Thanks mid. I am hoping that the palm shelf will move down far enough on the "M" Hammerli grip to accommodate a palm width of 90-95 mm.
The shooter involved finds the large hammerli a little thick through the mid section, even though trigger distance is still fine.
He is hoping the medium grip will be a little slimmer in the middle, and yet still have enough palm shelf adjustment. Unfortunately there is no standard from one manufacturer to another, and no provision for a "hands on to see if it fits" by dealers/distributors in most cases.
