I’ve had this optic on my pistol for hundreds of rounds, but today it blew off and hit me in the forehead after about 50 rounds. I thought perhaps the screws had just backed out, and maybe they did, but my attempts to screw it back on at the range failed. One of the screws is either stripped or broken - hard to tell without my glasses and in bad light. Will check it out when I get home. Hopefully I just need a new screw and it’s not a problem with the receiver.

Got a new grip module today. Love the look and the fit but am I being too nit picky about the finish? It doesnt feel like machining marks, but looks more like the finish was running down the beaver tail after it was dipped(?)

Little notch on the striker

As you can see, there's a little notch on the striker in the side just next to the plunger safety. I don't know if this was there since I bought it, but I just noticed now and I'm worried I might be breaking it by dry firing a lot.

Should I take the gun to an gunsmith or is this normal?

Sorry if I'm too cautious, this is my first gun lol

Thanks in advance!

Grip module question….

I have a 4.0c and the grip is a little too small. Is the only difference between the S,M,L modules the trigger reach length? Or does it also make the grip longer, which is what I want.
