Fireman064 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Ok so I have a 2011 that was done by Benny Hill. It was fitted with a 5" 9mm top end and a 6" 40 s&w top end. The gun also has a polymer grip (what I've been running) and a sti aluminum grip. I've ran the polymer grip since I've owned the gun with little issue. Recently I've had some mags that wouldn't completely drop free so I decided to switch to the aluminum grip. Now with the aluminum grip on my mags are binding on the frame. Yes the frame not the mag release not the grip, on the frame just below the feed ramp. How is it that the same mags with the same frame had no issues with the polymer grip but now rub on the frame with the aluminum grip? Any help would be appreciated!

Aircooled6racer Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hello: Did you fit the aluminum grip to the frame? I think you will find that the grip is not sitting perfectly into the frame causing the grip to be at a different angle than the plastic one. Another problem may be that the mags are out of spec.

wgj3 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Or that the mag catch is sitting at a different level and allowing the mags to get further up the grip into the frame and stick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman064 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 The grip was fit but only ran with the 40 top end never with the 9mm top end. I will have to check the mag catch. What do you suggest to check that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
