Grip Fitting Question
Hi all, I'm fairly new to the platform and hoping yall can point me in the right direction.
This is a Kimber 2K11 Comp that I installed a MJD Killmonger grip onto with the stock Kimber grip bushings. There is some front to back wobble in how the grip fits to the frame, where if I close the gap in the back of the grip, the front trigger guard nut hole isn't lined up. When I necessarily line up the front hole to install the nut, I get that gap in the back. I tried a bit of hand fitting but without a proper set of files and lacking experience I improved the fit maybe 10%.
The problem is that when I install the grip, I have the amount of gap shown in Pic #1. After a few mags that gap opens up wider as shown in pic #2. Pic #3 is there to show the overall fit.
My question is how do I solve this? First I thought it might just take more fitting, but now I am wondering if there is some play in the grip bushings that is allowing it to shift under recoil. Would getting the MJD bushing kit fix this? Please let me know your thoughts. I don't mind there being a bit of a gap, but the amount it settles on after shooting is too much.
