I understand completely!

Here is a better picture of mine after HC
-
Do you have any interest in the larger Elite/Gold team saftey?
-
I tried to buy the extreme safety from eaa as was told it wasn't available. I ended up buying the black set and having it hard chromed. Matched perfectly to the factory HC on my Elite.
Also having dealt with eaa and having a similar experience. I believe they count on a Lot of people not sending there guns in. Kinda of a deterrent that saves them money. At least they didn't tell you "so you installed an aftermarket part ( Dawson sight) and broke your gun and now want me (eaa) to fix it"
And refused to look at the slide unless I sent the whole gun !

My 2016 limited is marked as limited custom.

That's exactly what I did.

How is the barrel fit compared to your limited?
How is the accuracy between your stock 3 and limited?
Nice tight fit , and I personally can't tell any difference in accuracy between the two. I think I actually shoot the stock III a little better.
-
My 2016 stock III 10mm is the regular straight barrel. I believe the 2017 brochure still lists the stock III with the straight barrel also.
-
Is the mag follower catching under the slide release or slipping to the side and forcing the slide release out and up ?
-
Read the above linked thread. I have the same issue.

Thin Bogies

I agree. I was hoping for a dark red. I ended up going with black.

Thin Bogies

Jayson sent me this picture when I inquired about red thin bogies. Not really the shade I was looking for, but he can do thin bogies in this color.

Really not bad at all.

I carry my Elite and also stock III. I Re-profiled the rear sight and re-profiled a ambi- safety from a stock II/III. Also changed out the mag release for the shorter standard one to make it more Carry friendly. I also had a hybrid iwb holster made that fits both of them.
-
Just buy the standard one from EAA. I put one on my stock III & Limited. I had the standard one for the limited hard chromed as it is not offered hard chromed.
-
On my stock III it can be inserted 2 or 3 times before it does it , but every time with the limited. When the slide release goes on the side of the follower instead of the top and then more force is used to seat the magazine. It then pushes the magazine up against the trigger bar on the opposite side and slightly pushes outward on the slide release. These are both 10mm's and maybe the follower design is slightly less forgiving on these possibly.
I think since the mag catch is on the opposite side it is moving the magazine just enough to not catch on top of the follower. If the mag release is held in and then released after seating the magazine it's ok.
-
I have a Stock III and a limited. Being a south paw I usually just leave the mag release alone since not all platforms have a reversible mag release as an option. Recently I decided to reverse both of mine only because I did on my SP01's and figured I would make these match.
Has anyone reversed there's and then had an issue when inserting empty magazines? Both of mine now have issues and that's the only thing they have in common that has been changed.
When inserting a empty mag now, unless I put pressure on the slide release (keeping it pushed in) or pushing in the mag release while inserting, it will slightly push the slide release out causing the follower on the mag to slip to the side of the catch on the slide release as opposed to it staying on top of the follower. This also causes the trigger to bind. It's fine with a loaded mag and if I just put a finger on the slide release while inserting an empty.
Is this a side effect of reversing the mag release or is something else going on?
I switched these a couple weeks ago , but just noticed it today after cleaning and trying to insert an empty mag. After I switched these I think I just inserted a full mag and never thought to try with an empty.

I saw them at the NRA show. Interesting that you can change the grips/ magwell on a polymer framed gun.

I got mine finished. I did it a little different. I had a flattened out 7 1/2 shot in and got paranoid about how soft it was. Instead I cut the tip off a small brass punch, flattened it out some and shaped it with a small file. Then I gently tapped into into the hole with another brass punch. The brass was soft enough to make a nice fit and hard enough to be able to tighten the set screw as tight as I wanted without pushing through or even bending the brass at all.
I lightly sanded the bottom of a new sight and used 690 green loctite on the dovetail, sight & set screw. I contemplated using blue loctite on the set screw instead of green, but just used the green for everything.
I will shoot it this weekend and hope this will be a permanent fix.
-
It was protruding a little, but not all the way through. The other thing I noticed was it tapers down like a drill bit so that must be why there aren't issues with the larger factory set screw and why the shot works because the hole is larger at the top and it won't go through the smaller hole on the bottom.
I also have the Dawson sight on a Stock III with no issues. No cone barrel on those and it looks like the slide is much thicker in the same spot.
-
I know this is a old thread, but I joined today after I found this thread.
I have the same issue on a limited. It wasn't all the way through, but with minimal torque it went through.
Has anyone called EAA about this? When I did I was told that they had never heard of this before.
I will probably use lead shot as others have done unless anyone has come up with something better. Any updates on guns fixed this way? Wasn't very happy about this ,( or the way eaa treated me about it) but at least I now know the hole being there isn't a concern since some came with it from the factory already there.

Inserting an empty mag only. When I figured out it didn't effect anything else I did indeed quit worrying about it. It is strange though that reversing the mag release causes it to do that.
