Hello. The side of the lower polymer section on the L side bulges from the wire clip that holds the slide retainer pin. Is there a trick to getting it in position where there is no bulge ?
I think I can help. This happened to me and I nearly panicked, thought I had ruined my gun. I had field stripped my gun for the first time to clean and lube prior to first shoot, and realized that the grip was bowed out on both sides of the assembly pin. I drove the plastic pins out of the grip that hold the frame to the grip, removed the grip from the frame, and noticed that the assembly pin retaining spring had jumped out of its groove. Snapped the spring back in, reinstalled the frame into the grip and all is well. To prevent this in the future, squeeze the grip next to the pin during removal, making sure the grip does not bow out. Hope this helpsneed-for-speed said:Hello. The side of the lower polymer section on the L side bulges from the wire clip that holds the slide retainer pin.

mydixiwrecked00 said:the same thing happened to my womans p3at.... i too freaked out cuz it was my fault since i was the one to first take it apart.... after some squinting i saw it was the spring and used a dental pick to pull it back up...now squeeze the grip while i pull the pin, hasn't done it since...sorry about your luck with stuff falling out... i lost an ejector on mine and never noticed it at the range til i came home and clean it. so on a good note. they work even missing parts... and it lightens them up even more!still best to have all the important parts there.... the important parts being anything that came in it new...
