    It's hard to suggest a fix without actually seeing what you're talking about, so this might be a shot in the dark. But sometimes when pistols are similar but have a different width what happens is we end up putting the forefinger in the same place under the trigger guard. Thus for some, making the support hand ride higher. Essentially a different part of the forefinger of the support hand needs to be contacting the trigger guard depending on the pistol.

    One thing that might work is to slightly change how you build the grip with the support hand for both pistols. What you can try is instead of just placing the forefinger of the support hand, "in the correct spot", drive the support hand further under the pistol until the raised support hand thumb is almost touching the slide. Then hook the fingers of the support hand and cant the wrist forward. Essentially you can get used to the support hand stopping at the correct spot by feel.

    Once you get used to driving the support hand further in order to obtain a correct grip on the smaller (43) grip then using that spot on the forefinger will work for the larger pistols also. What happens (if it works for you) is that when building the grip for the larger pistol is the support hand just ends up slipping more counter clockwise for right handed folks until it gets to it's spot and giving you that, "locked in feel".

    It works for some people where they don't have to think, "What gun am I carrying". Some love it and some hate it. But it costs nothing and is worth a try.

    What you do right before you know you're going to be in a use of force incident, often determines the outcome of that use of force.
