Another (non-reversible) option is to radius the MSH/frame corner as much as possible without going full bobtail (MSH pin stays where it is). That leaves more straight surface for your hand, if you like that, while helping in concealment mode. Sorry I don't have any links to show what I mean, but you should be able to visualize it.
