I bought a Sidewinder, and ordered a holster grip. All came in fine. When I installed the holster grip, the frame panels that go on before the holster grip appeared to be quite loose in the frame space. Went ahead and installed, but when the grip is fully installed, I can move the holster grip up and down the frame (or back and forth if you will) about 3/32 inch. Seems to be excessively loose. Before you ask, the grip is the correct part number, says Sidewinder right on the package, and I have installed these on my other mini's without the same issue.

Thoughts?

Thanks

  I've found very few frames are alike because of how well they clean the chafe (debur) the frame on the inside . Quite frankly they are getting worse as time goes on I assume NAA doesn't think its an issue . It all stems from quality , the need for speed is a definite factor . So it sounds like the old paper wedges are needed .  Good luck .

webbma,     I have two sidewinders and put the holster grips on both of them.  They fit very well, no trouble.  They are just the standard mag grips.  I never heard of grips marked for the sidewinder.  Maybe I just lucked out.

The holster grips I had on my sidewinder were fairly loose that's why I don't really like to carry with it. It just seemed like too much play when locked in the shooting position. If it wiggled a little when it was folded it wouldn't bother me, but locked out I don't think it should. I just either use the standard Mag grips or the over sized grips. The holster grips just seem more like a cool thing to show my friends now, lol.
