I have been thinking about installing a bobtail mainspring housing on my carry pistol to reduce printing, tho admitidly my big ole government model prints less than my little sig due to the holster I use. I really haven't heard much on this modification other than both comfort and concealability increasing so I have a couple questions before I invest the $80.
First, do you need to cut, modify or replace the frame? I can't tell if it just slides in to the existing tracks or if the actual frame is cut at an angle to accommodate it. Second, and I guess this may be answered in part by my first question but, will I need to get new grips? Like I said I'm trying to make an educated buy so any help will be appreciated. Thank you. |
| I love the look and feel of the bobtail as well, but it's really not worth the pain to install it on an existing frame. As mentioned above the frame has to be cut. This can be easier with a bobtail jig from brownells. I would not risk ruining a perfectly good gun. |
