I didn't make it clear in my earlier post but the Rink grips fitted to my P44 are actually walnut and not laminate. For the purposes of target shooting aesthetics really does not come into it. I would also be concerned about filing or adding packing to laminate grips. I recently dug out my old FWB Mod65 (an early recoiless design, pre PCP) whose grips are still adorned with patches of grey 'plastic padding' and file marks in my (successful) attempts at matching the contours of the grips to my hand. It doesn't look very pretty but it worked and I can still even now after not shooting it regularly for 18 years or so still score 180+ ex 200 with it! Making the grip fit your hand is much more important than its appearance. I have just looked at the 'Tendrings' site which is impressive and must be immensely useful to anyone just taking up the sport or, indeed, experienced shooters.
