Broncman Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The STI insert was very sloppy, measured things up and Josh at Double Alpha sent me a Race Master with the SV insert. Much better. Now I just have to get "ungrounded" by the spousal unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncman Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Have no idea about the PT. Try them both and let us know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElkChaser Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Will do hopefully my Gun will be done in a week or so I know my PT block has a ton of slop with my PT grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I tried an Al e2 grip at Area 8 and it snicked into my STI insert just fine. Maybe there is some variation in tolerances. I'll find out when my SS unit gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schaet Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The SV/STL on my Alpha-X with the E2 was the way I had to go. Fits perfect. The STI block was very sloppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Try an Everglades holster and free yourself from insert issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Steve has incorporated the required change in new production, you have to modify the Everglades block slightly to get the e2 to seat properly. I take a small file and about 60 seconds to do. Here is the mod. Remove a little material from the intersection of the chamfer and the top of the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfehr401 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I have an issue with the PT insert and my cheely not coming out should I try the SV steel? Or try and modify the PT? I know this is an old topic so hopefully some sees it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy42 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 What about an MPA grip? I think it is a Cheely E2, but I am not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 MPA grip hung up sometimes in my old DAA racemaster. Switched to a Safariland 015 since I didn't want to dink with holsters when switching pistols and liked the lock better than the Everglades (which also worked with both old-school plastic STI and the MPA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what insert? The one I have I think is for a plastic STI grip, but since it looks like I will be ordering an MPA open gun soon I am trying to figure out when insert I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I have I think is for a plastic STI grip, but since it looks like I will be ordering an MPA open gun soon I am trying to figure out when insert I need Regular plastic STI insert. Hung up as in the insert wouldn't release completely if you drew even a bit angled to one side or the other. A bit of back and forth frees it, but that's a no-go on the clock. With a perfectly straight draw it was fine, but any angle and the insert wouldn't release completely. Zero issues with a plastic STI grip and that setup.
