Here's the requested photo. This is the slide racker that came on my DVC Steel, bought 5/25. A friend had the same failure you did on his DVC Open and was sent the same "new-new" racker as replacement.

Fitting my PT Evo grip to my Edge took me 3-4 hours using Dykem, flat files and dial caliper. I was in no hurry, enjoyed the project and ended with a very nice tight fit. Only took material off the grip and as others have stated above, have patience, you can't put it back on . Color the inside surface, test fit, file where it's shiny and repeat and repeat and repeat...….

It's hard to tell from the photo but it appears that yours is the "new" stainless steel version with integral threaded stud. STI has an improved "new-new" version with an aluminum handle that uses an allen socket head steel machine screw, which my DVC Steel came with. I think/hope this is a much better design. I'm sure STI will replace yours with the "new-new" version under warranty. Please let us know if you are able to buy a spare. I might want to order one too!

Thanks to you all.
Hello Hi-Power: Shooting M&P 9mm Pro 5" and trying to decide between Dillon RL550B and XL650. Any recommendation would be appreciated!
Obsessive: Thanks, I'm familiar and have shot Boulder, Weld and Aurora. Do you shoot Dumont? I'll look for you if I can make it there. From your profile pic, you should be easy to find (lol)!

Yes, FWIW, Hooked is right: the allen socket machine screw goes inside the slide racker and then screws into the slide. This screw is probably 2-3 times stronger than the previous stainless steel threaded slide racker design.
