    I only changed grips to VZ Aliens (which are my current favorite) and sights. I am running a surefire X300. It fits perfectly snug. I think I changed one of the bars on the surefire with the extras they come with to make it larger. It's still wobbles a little on my MC Operator, but fits perfect on my Colt

    If you notice the side picture, the gold bead is shining from a bad angle. I noticed that when I took the pic. That mo fo screams here I am, very pleased.

    I like mine too. Sure makes a difference at the indoor range.

    not to derail, but i had a Norwegian/US parts bin circa 1941-50 and they had that dimple.
