Make Safe

Something you cannot get from SIG is a P320 Pro-Carry with a safety.

Turns out, it's something you can make, and Marv did so!

First you take the gun completely apart!

Well, first you get the kit.

Then you watch the videos.

THEN you take it all apart!

Then you follow the instructions that you saw in the video and cut a kidney shaped hole in the frame of the pistol using the provided jigs and cutters.



This is what allows you to insert the safety into the gun and it's cleverly designed to compress the spring detent as you move it up into its final position.

Then you put the gun back together!

Now you cut slots in your grip to let the safety stick out the side of the gun.

You can just barely see the outline of where Wilson would have put an insert into the mold to keep the slot from being filled with plastic.  It's even more prominent in an OE SIG grip.

Because the jig fits a bit loose on the Wilson grip, you start small and work your way out, doing lots of test fits.

Almost there...

Viola!

...And done!

It wasn't even me this time!  This was a Marv project.
