    My triggerguard isn't undercut too much. Just enough to notice a difference in allowing a higher grip and avoiding Glock knuckle. Hopefully the switch still allows somewhat of a higher grip.
    I also thought that the switch was going to negate the effects of the undercut but it turned out to be barely noticeable for me. I actually ran it for the first time in a class, expecting my accuracy and comfort with it to have dropped a little but I don't think it did at all.

    If you undercut, or sand off the finger notches, there is a certain amount of space between the back of the switch and the front of the grip. It'll come on when you grab it, but it may waver as your grip wavers. At least for me, I have to grip quite hard in order to activate the light. I guess that may be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on how you think of it. It's a lot harder to accidentally activate the light. I still think it's worth it, but your mileage may very.

    I didn't have this issue, I'm sure it just depends where and how much material is taken off.
