Welcome aboard!

This is a fine work-around for grip panels that are too short, but if the ridges on their backsides allow front to back movement, a bead of good epoxy along the front edges of the front ridges will help. I think that looseness like this makes the left grip susceptible to the $1M chip--as the grip's being pushed forward by the hand when the gun is fired, the little piece of wood behind it will be slammed into the safety lever's shank.
