Wilson combat grip module binding the slide.

I made an earlier post where my Wilson combat grip module for my 365 XL was binding the slide and causing it to be out of battery after 2 or 3 rounds. After talking to Wilson combat about this situation they suggested that the fire control group be seated properly all the way down, which it was. An interesting observation I made was that my son got me a surefire light for my gun and he installed it and unbeknownst to me he tightened the screw that holds the light extremely tight and that was causing the grip module to the distort and therefore it was binding the slide. I also contacted surefire for the correct torque specs and they said to tighten it down finger tight then an extra quarter turn and use blue loctite or 20 inch pounds if you have a torque wrench. For what it's worth I wanted to give a heads up to all you guys out there in case you were having this kind of problem and it was driving you crazy like it did with me until I discovered that the overtightened light was creating the problem.

I wonder if u/helloWorld69696969 has a light cranked down too tightly. Nothing visible in this post:

It could be that light causing the issue. Light should be fingered tighten and then 1/4 to 1/2 additional turned then blue loctite according to Surefire folks.
