I have never liked the thin little handle on the mini. I have added a couple home made side plates, but still didn't like. Today in the garage I came across an old AR handle and I noticed the inside was about the same size as the mini handle without plates. About 10 minutes reaming out with a 1/2 drill bit. I now have an AR handle on my mini. Once I know for sure I like it I will drop some epoxy in that bad boy. It feels awesome in the garage.
