PT Evo Little Trigger Guard Grip Screws

[FTP_Shooting_Sports]

Is it normal for the little grip screws near the trigger guard on a PT Evo grip to move in and out even when the screws are tightened?

 

I have not seen this before on my STI plastic grips but upgraded to the Evo and

noticed this today.

 

Thanks

I had to shorten the sleeve between the screws on my evo. It’s normal.

Did you have to do that because it’s and issue or just did it because it annoyed you? I am just worried that the sleeve being too wide may allow some movement in the grip that could cause damage but not sure if that is even an issue.

Same with CK steel grip. I had to shorten because screw heads were interfering with holster

how did you shorten without messing up the threads?

I had to shorten them for the Infinity and PT Evo grips. 

 

I put a screw in one side and held it by that screw with vise grips while using a file to shorten.  Doesn’t take much.

As long as the width isn’t wider that the trigger guard/grip is, or can’t slide to either side and be wider than the grip (causes holster issues usually depending on holster) locktight and leave them that width.  

 

Theyre supposed to act as more of a pun vs a screw you tighten to lock in place.  

 

If You trim them to enough to actually be in tension (like a normal screw) they will almost always work loose and vibrate out.

 

The sleeve is supposed to act as the pin, and the two screws on L and R are just there to keep the sleeve from working it’s way out of it’s Home.

 

snig the screws up tigh to the sleeve bi Tony work about the entire assembly being “tight” AI gains the the grip

I used locktite and let them slide a little.  Never had an issue to date.  I do keep a spare with me.
