your being plenty helpful!
i have no qualms with cutting metal. do you think it would be possible to cut or grind the shaft shorter so it would work? if the shaft was cut shorter would a bushing still be necessary? where can these bushings be purchased?
i should add, i dont yet own a sp-01, i am just looking into them. im the type person that likes to learn everything i can so i can lay out a plan before i buy anything. im wanting to get a sp-01, put lasergrips on it (after doing the necessary modifications), put a light on the rail, put night sights on it (maybe high ones for silencer use), put an extended and threaded barrel in it (or get the factory one exended), get a 9mm silencer for it, and maybe a trigger job (depending on how i like it as is).
im trying to decide which model i want to get and if it is possible to do the things i want. right now i think i want the sp-01 with the manual safety. thanks for any help you give me!
