kk4364 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I had to widen the slide stop, not the frame. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Bob Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Sounds like a fairly easy fitting with a small flat file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAustin316 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Posts like this make me glad that I had 4 little holes put in my frame to have a gogun *thumb rest [generic]*. No issues whatsoever. Had the old nitrofin and it gave me issues. Supposedly the newer one is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The 2.0 version is supposed to be a bit better. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertwil18 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Im going to have to do some fitting on mine for sure. My slide will go forward into battery, but is a bitch to pull back and hangs up quite a bit. Is it going to need widening in the notch or all over? The pictures are helpful, but dont do it justice in where it may be hanging up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I would use dykem or a marker and coat the area in question. Rack the slide a few times and check to see where it is making contact. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urmaker45 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Does anybody have a picture of where I’m suppose to make the Detent mark on the 1.0 I recently purchased one and don’t want to have a accidental slide lock don’t mean to hijack thread op.

kk4364 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If you mark the contact area that the safety detent meets with nitro fin , marker, or dykem. And install you can move the nitro fin into place a few times and the mark that it makes should be the spot. Does that make since?Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 It's going to be different on each gun because of slight dimensional differences f re om manufacturer. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 This ended up being ok, but should of gone a tiny bit higherSent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Also this is where you would apply marker or dykem to see where the safety detent makes contact. Then you can settle on the position of detent. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertwil18 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Been working on fitting my Nitro Fin in my STI Edge and while the pin goes in freely, and i've removed some material from the channel, it still has a bit of hangup when pulling back the slide. It's really only when the slide is first moving and unlocking the barrel. After that it moves freely and smoothly to the rearmost position and back into battery. Any ideas on where material would need to be removed in order to make the unlocking and initial slide racking more smooth? Think the overall circumference of the pin is too large? Open to ideas. Shooting a match on Sunday and was going to give it a try, but i will likely hold off. I was thinking about just shooting it with the slight hickup in the slide, assuming that it would work itself out, but i certainly dont want to chance breaking anything when the pistol runs perfectly otherwise. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I would check the pin diameter and compare to original. If the pins are like in diameter I would use dykem to try to pinpoint further. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertwil18 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Would a pin that is slightly too large in diameter cause this issue with resistance in racking the slide only at the beginning when the slide is coming out of battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 If it is riding the lower lugs or starting uneven I believe so. I am not a Smith just trying to share what I have had to do in the past. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Short of just working it with a file or some sandpaper, is there a good way to remove material from the pin without making it uneven?

kk4364 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I would use fine grade sand paper by hand. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will chime in. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.On mine, the middle of the pin's diameter is slihtly small than the ends. This way there's clearance for the barrel lug, but it's a snug fit in the slide. The way I reduced the inner part of the pin is using one of 2 ways. Using a dremmel with a very worn sanding drum, I just keep going around the middle of the pin until there's no resistance. The other way is put the end of the pin in a variable drill, and at lower speed using fine sandpaper, work the middle of the pin until you get the clearance needed. This way is more even, but the spinning nitro fin does make for a challenging task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
