I don't think that will help with grip much, it takes the same mags as the full size.

On the full size the small grip panels are pretty narrow in my opinion. If he takes her to a store I would ask them to see the other panels and change them out (out the box all 3 are medium on the gun). It is a single roll pin which can be done with no disassembly of any other part of the gun.

I have a standard XD-9(never tried the XDm which I'm sure is better) and a VP-9. The VP to me is a tack-driver compared to my XD. The VP does have a different sight picture out the box it is set for covering the target not holding under if that matters.

If HK keeps following suit with what the P30 has there may eventually be a long slide VP-9
