Loving the new SPX but don't care much for the forend. Ideally, Hogue would offer something with a little more heft and be rubberized. I don't really need rail space (probably a light and possibly an angled grip), but I'm thinking about switching out the flimsy OEM forend. After a lot of review, including this forum, it looks like my only real choices are the Elite Tactical Bobcat 930 and the Aimpro Tactical. Of these two, I'd appreciate any hands-on experience you folks have had with both of them. My main interests are (1) more "substantive" than the OEM; (2) as "small in the hand" as possible; and (3) a sturdy fit. The Bobcat looks to be more streamlined than the Aimpro and appears to satisfy criteria (2) better, but than may be due to the more streamlined look. If both of them are judged to be bigger in circumference than the OEM, I might just stick with the original. I have average-sized hands but prefer a smallish grip.
I'll greatly appreciate any practical experience you have, including references to any other forend that might be out there. Thanks.
