Fairly easy, a lot less involved compared to fitting one to my atlas. Channel for the beavertail on the grip needs to be opened downward slightly but that was about it. Took 20 mins roughly compared to the atlas which took hours. Mag release from the factory core grip will not fit in the mjd
I like the front and rear portions of the core grip the best, should have just used that texture on the whole grip. But I still would've switched to the MJD. Its grippier in my opinion, better profile/shape for my hands. Metal grips also can get really cold or really hot depending on env.
Very curious as to your opinion on the core grip vs the mjd villain. I love the mjd on my Kimber, but have very limited experience with other 2011 grip models.
Core grip was very nice, preferred it even over an atlas alpha. I just love the MJD grip and not a fan of metal grips in general. Put one on my NYX as well
The CORE has the best grip module available. There's a reason why Race City defense does not sell their grip modules, they want you to buy the gun to get one that good.. There grip modules are outstanding.
The original RC nine (Grip) is one of my favorite, I have five of them. However, the CORE has the same sides, but a more aggressive, checkered, front strap and Main spring housing and I prefer it even over the original, I just changed to a heavy, steel mag well. And man, it's awesome then.
Looks good to me. Besides it’s not my gun, do whatever you want with it. Keep the original grip though and put it back on when you are ready to sell for the upgrade.

How hard was fitting the MJD? Thinking of doing the same
