I would think you would have weld the frame back up then recut it for a GI safety.
............... WTF
Unless you intend to replace your current ring hammer with a spur hammer you'll need to use a commander standard grip safety, no frame modification required.
Fitting the grip safety is simple and and job easily done by the home hobbyist.
This is what I was thinking. When I look at the underside of the beavertail/tangs and compare it to my Springer GI, it appears as though there
is material removed from the tangs such that the space between them is greater. Is that not the case?
BACKGROUND:
The gun in question is a P14. It is an early PX model, and I have never liked it because the bottom part of the grip safety is too thick, and
interferes with my grip. It is not the frame size, because I have an older P14 with a different style of grip safety, which fits me fine. The
safety, when depressed, sticks out noticeably further than the other two guns do when NOT depressed.
Initially I was either going to remove material from the grip safety, or to replace it with another beavertail. But, I started thinking about making
the gun more GI in appearance, as I like that simplistic look (I am strictly a recreational shooter, so...). I think this may be too much trouble,
as I would want to remove the Parakote and parkerize, replace the trigger, plus do something about the front and rear serrations, etc. I think
I will end up doing what I had originally intended.
