I got a Springfield non ILS MSH installed. There is a little side to side play in the beavertail grip safety. I don't know if it was like this before. Is this a problem? Thanks.
ETA: The gun is a Loaded. |

It's not a problem.
It may not have been like that before. Was the MSH extremely hard to slide into the frame? If no then it was like that before. If yes then remove it, figure out where the hard contact is on the MSH and sand or file and test until you get only a slight resistance while sliding it into the frame. I had a MSH that was just shy of needing a hammer to install, it definitely spread the frame a little and increased the space around the GS, five minutes of sanding and install/removal is now easy and the gaps around the GS are reduced, it's not going to make a huge difference in GS fit. |

most likely it would require fitting a new grip saftey, one that is oversize in a few places like the EGW model, if they make it for the SA radius. Some side to side play is normal on a production gun and will not harm any thing.
Using the brass hammer on the MSH was proberly needed to compress the mainspring. |

Here is a vid showing the movement. I handled a Range officer and there was no side to side movement and the grip safety was stiffer. Is there variations in beavertail fit or do I need to get someone to look at it? Thanks. |
