Hugh, I got a couple of pairs of these (Guess what? 10 bucks a pair, as is!), one P.08 style, the other grip safety style. They'll almost kind of stay on, and they have warped, as well. Apparently Franzite will limber up if put into the oven, then you'd let it cool with a weight pressing it to the correct shape. I've never heard what might make it swell up again, but I think if would be feasible to build length by building up epoxy that's tinted the same as the grip, across its top end, and down by the grip screw. Epoxy works well to refresh the front edges of the ridges on the back of a walnut or urethane grip, to tighten it laterally, and I think it would stick to Franzite if you rough up the areas that need it, first. If the color match is good enough, you may even be able to take them out in public!
