Mine line up, but when it was new I had to force the FCU rearward into the module.

My 2 work fine. It was bit tougher to get them into the WC module than the factory one.

Perfectly normal. I have 2 of the WC frames and yes, the FCU will fit very tightly, especially the first time but they do fit and functioned just fine.

Im sure it will 'wear in' after time/numerous FCU swaps, mine usually do.
From my perspective of your pic, it seems to me your not getting the FCU tab 'down' enough into the grip. For sometimes stiff grips, in order to fully seat the FCU, I'll push the FCU into place using the edge of a table/bench.  Attached File |

The Wilson grips are tight. I put two or three together a week for customers. Get the trigger started, shove the ass end down, grab it like you're getting ready to shoot and pull the trigger and FCU into position with your trigger finger. Shouldn't need a mallet - unless you do

We can all see from your pics you don’t have it seated properly. The WC module is significantly tighter than the oem frame. You don’t want to listen to the advice here and waste your time with the mail then okay. Good luck.

Easier for them to just swap it out regardless.
The grip does appear to look “squished” at the top rear. You could be right/frame bad or vice versa, but that pic leaves a lot to question, it’s too close up for one thing and a pic without the FCU would help. Hope that new frame works out. |

That was the problem and that was what the pics showed. It couldn't be forced any more and Wilson agreed when they got the frame back. The frame was jacked. I got the new frame yesterday and the FCG went in with no problem. |

Mine was a bitch. Now that it’s been in there for awhile it’s in and out just fine. I did literally tap it in with a hammer the first time though....

Getting in was a challange... but pulling out was very hard. Id rather have it nice and tight versus loose like throwing a hotdog down a hallway. |

You weren't trying to put a .45 FCU in the Wilson P-320 frame were you????

I had a p320 module that was similar to yours I used a table and yes the plastic got deformed a bit but it works fine now.
