A friend of mine lives a mile from SIG and buys lots of stuff from their LE store. He inquired about the mags for me and they told him March 18th.
I already have a small subcompact grip which I bought from them over a month ago. It fits the compact slide quite well, with a slight amount of airspace at the bottom front of the dust shield on the slide where the grip end is not quite long enough by about 1/16-1/8".
While it is cosmetic and would likely only be noticed by someone on the receiving end, I made up a little jig and built up an extension to close the gap with JB Weld which I then shaped and colored to match the rest of the grip. I have also sacrificed an extra compact grip by cutting down the butt to SC dimensions as folks have done with Glocks (but in this case, only the investment in the grip is at risk). I am waiting for the SC mags so i can finish the work on the grip and also use the SC grip without a mag sticking out.
I suppose if you wanted to use something other than JB Weld, you could grind off a bit of a sacrificial grip and mix it into a paste with some MEK, but I think the grip is ABS.
The first photo is the unmodified SC grip with the C slide, the second and third show the jig and the finished grip.
