If you are an Olympic level shooter and live in Europe, I guess you can go the grip factories (Rink, Morini) and get a grip molded to your hand for an exact fit. Most of the Rink grips I have bought fit really well, but no grip is a perfect fit. Is there anyone in the US that specializes in this work.
It would be worth the price of a plane ticket somewhere to get a perfect grip.
At least in my mind.

Anyone in the US doing grip molding ?

There is no such thing as a perfect grip...
You hand changes with time, temperature and even the level of stress...
Your best bet is to get a grip that fit's almost good, buy some wood putty and apply it where you need, and grab the grip gently while it sets so that it forms to your hand.
Sand and add putty until it get's close.
Then send it to Rink and ask him to copy it to a new grip. He scans it in 3D and can then replicate it to most target guns.
Voilá. You have a new all wood grip without the travel.
You can find a lot of information on grips and grip making just by using the search function on this site.
Hope this helps

What is this fascination with wood?
The biggest rave at the CES (consumer electronic show) Las Vegas is about personal 3-D printers.
You can do great things with it.

Making a hand grip with adjustable shelf, and even matching screws are not hard at all.
There are many 3-d printing companies that will do that for you.
Down the road you can just make one at your bedroom.
Back in 1993, we had a 3-d printer at MIT that we used to "print" drug tablet with different drug concentration from core to surface, to ensure equal dissolution. Ten years ago, NASA had 3-D printer in Space Lab to make what ever tools are needed impromptu "out there".
To make a 3-D custom fitted replica of your best fit grip is not hard at all.
There are 3-D custom made "wood" products out there. http://www.wired.com/design/2012/11/3d- ... -filament/
But you can do anything in life, but not everything is beneficial.
Bravo zulu to you Project Daniel !!
