deerslayer Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I recently got a model P and want to put in a steel mainspring housing. Dawson says theirs does not fit gen 2 Staccato grips. Anybody know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to call them (and Staccato) tomorrow and maybe get an answer if they answer the phone. I was just curious if anyone else had run into this.

shred Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Physically it'll probably 'fit'. But the profiles and contours may not match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALL_comped_EVERYTHING Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I’m almost certain it with work but I’m not sure it will work with the Gen 2 grips magwell. I would call Dawson Precision. Staccato will just say they recommend everything stay stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson said yeah the gen 2 grip is different and uses its own MSH and mag release, which we don’t make. Staccato was absolutely no help. I didn’t realize they became another “send it to us and we’ll fix it, but we won’t sell you the parts” company. Makes me want to put a gen 1 grip on it and bypass the Staccato proprietary BS. I miss STI. Edited May 24 by deerslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say have a little patience and let the guys like Dawson know that you're interested in an aftermarket part. If they get enough feedback then someone will most likely start making the part. I would think that it would only take a couple of tweeks to the CNC program to produce it. Owners of the new gen. Colt Python that were unhappy with the factory sight did just that. Kensight now makes a much better replacement, after they initially said there was not enough market for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnex95 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 My buddy ordered a steel one from EGW that will fit in my prodigy but will not slide into a staccato grip. It’s slightly wider than the factory MSH, maybe with some time filing it will go in but not sure if he’s going to bother with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I filed about .008 of each side of a Dawson and got it to fit, only to find out that the hole for the mainspring housing pin doesn’t line up. I found an undrilled one at EGW, but putting that hole in exactly the right place is above my pay grade… Edited June 23 by deerslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
