edwardkaraa Posted July 4, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, The lock of the M9 hand grip is becoming loose and sometimes it dangles when I'm shooting. Nothing serious but annoying nonetheless. Is there a quick fix I can do myself? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardkaraa Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted July 4, 2013 Thank you Jaap! So there is no screw I can tighten somewhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordvik Posted July 4, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 4, 2013 If you take the lock apart you will find a pin with a small bend in it that acts like a spring (2. from right). Turn the pin and/or bend it more. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/treball/Foto/IMG_2631_zps8c41cb6c.jpg 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankbratkowski Posted February 9, 2021 Share #8 Posted February 9, 2021 This image is very helpful because I have the same issue. Any suggestions on how to take apart the lock past taking the first flathead screw apart? I can't seem to get any of the other parts to disassemble.

DennisPT Posted December 14, 2022 Share #10 Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) I don’t have the skill set or tools for the repair so I bought a black M9 baseplate for my BP M9P. The seller said it’s black chrome and made me wonder if black chrome M9 was ever released. Problem ‘solved’, nonetheless. Welcome, dear visitor!
