I would prefer as thin a set as possible.

I'm going to chime in with an aluma grip recomendation. If you dont mind a set of grips made from aluminium, these are really nice. And, they make a set in slim. That's what's pictured on mine below. Their really not that bad in terms of heat and cold. They dont get too cold in winter or too hot in summer like you would expect... at least to me anywayLOL
No, I don't work for them, I just like them

Oh, If you go the slim route be prepared to have to change out the grip screw bushings. Not hard at all, but I recomend their little grip screw bushing tool.
Good luck with whatever you find!

vz grips are good, if you get the g10 material ones. the paper/canvas micarta material grips stain easily and the texture wears out.

if you're getting thin grips you have to get the slim screws and bushings. changing out the grip screw bushing can sometimes be a pain in the ass, just to let you know.

the vz aliens grips are really thin, i was initially looking for thin grips, but found the aliens to be more than adequate for carry, and you don't have to change out the screws or bushings.

Kimber makes some checkered rubber grips that are nice and thin and are great for daily carry. The tactile feel on them is excellent.

I like the stock Kimber rubber grips on my TLE.

At around $15, a cost effective choice.

Hogue Grips

Try Hogue grips. They have lots of different materials and contours. You should be able to find what you like.

I have a pair of double diamond checkered black ebony. They are great.
