I've read where most of the Duke body grip users like Dukes except for the safety latches. I have some 155's that I would like to change out if anyone has some suggestions. I have seen trigger replacement parts, but no safety latch replacement options. Figured someone out there may have "built their own" ? Or may have some suggestions on how to modify a new latch to make it better. thx, Bayou
