I'm starting to think the only plan is to change grip modules. |

I have the thumb safety version, no grip safety. Mine falls within the dates of the promotion, however thumb safety models are not allowed in the promotion, my dealer did not know and I just found out when entering my serial number. I will tell you I really do enjoy shooting the pistol. |

I can change out barrels, grip modules, etc.. but if I want a comp'ed slide, I'm out of luck (or the opposite if someone has a comp'ed slide and doesn't want to always have it or use a longer, threaded barrel). |
