Poor man’s XC “the Turkato” that I tuned the ignition and dropped in a Red Dirt F3 trigger. I have a stippled Staccato grip inbound that I am gonna throw on her next with with an XC mainspring housing internals. Question for the pros, will a Staccato Grip module using the MAC grip safety work/drop-in or will I have to blend a little off the grip?

Interesting I have been considering picking up a backup for my XC or just maybe something to keep some of the mileage off it. I have the XC grip module trigger and everything as I went with a Cheely and red dirt trigger.

So I could put these spare parts I have sitting around into this and with some tuning have a pretty decent pistol? Maybe have something that will give 80% of the XC performance in a pretty inexpensive package.

New grip install. Tisas now sells stippled grips from 2ND Caliber out of Georgia so I went that way as it is basically MAC 9 grip that has been stippled. I went with the medium texture. Love the look and most importantly, the feel. Surefire X300 T-B incoming.

I got the coarse version and am sending it back. It had almost no grip traction to it and my hand couldn't really get s good lock on grip.

I might send out my stock grip for a reduction/stipple instead now.
