Suicycle Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I ordered a plug the other day for the the rear of the grip, not that I needed it but I thought I would look at it and it was cheap. When it got to the house I poped it in and noticed my RTF2 doesn't have a hole in the backstrap. Is this normal on the rtf guns or is it normal on the SF models? Anyway the plug stays in from friction and a full blown magwell is allowable in CDP for IDPA if I want to go that far, but now I am looking at drilling or some other options. Just curious to what others have out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hmm, interesting. My regular G21SF has the hole, but it’s not an RTF2. My G17 RTF2 has the hole too. Looks like you would need to drill it then if you wanted a magwell, or you could epoxy an STI magwell like some other folks have. The carver magwell I have for my 21SF needed a few mods to make it function 100%, in its stock configuration there was interference with the basepads. It’s fine now, but the exposed aluminum in contrast to the black anodized aluminum and black frame is an eye sore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calishootr Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 probably because they have the removable backstraps??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 No removable backstraps on the 21SF and 21SF RTF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razerok1 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) the later 3rd gen and rtf models have no hole in the rear they also got rid of the u shaped cut at the bottom of the grip Edited May 16, 2011 by razerok1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What a rip off. You should just sell that defective RTF2 SF to me and buy a gun that has the proper holes in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
