Do I Dremel, go FS/X5 or abandon the idea?!
Idk what to do here guys......
I got the SAW Shiv last month and mounted it on this carry size slide.
Immediately noticed the halo touches the Shiv when the slide is fully to the rear, so I have not tried to shoot it yet.
It's not so bad you can't fully open the slide, but it's bad enough that if you wedge paper in there, rack it and try to pull the paper out, you get resistance and you can't slide it in while racked.
I'm debating if the action is actually going to move that far back every time, or if it'll stop right beforehand.
I think I've currently got the lightest weight Armory Craft spring in it, so if I put a heavier spring in, I may be able to prevent it from fully extending to the rear, right?
I was considering a piece of electric tape where it contacts and banging a few off to see if it leaves a mark. Do we think that's safe with this sorta brittle feeling Shiv?
If we do see a mark, what is the consensus on next steps (offer more if you have one!):
Dremel the halo (but hurts resale value on a $200 item)
Buy a FS or X5 slide and move my barrel from my FS 320 into it. (Leaves me without a threaded barrel for a nightstand gun, but I have a rattler w a can.) This kinda wrecks my intended setup of having a tucked can in the Lora. Also it's a pain in the ass to move the rip stick! However, I have the extra internals, spring kit and a site pusher already.
Abandon the Halo, which means abandoning the top rail, which means I may just be better off going spec op chop. But if I go spec op, I'm gonna want to get a Sig loc slide for the Romeo x SigLoc pro.
Dremel or abandon seems like the cheapest options. I am kinda broke after buying all this shite.
