Anyone ever replace safety latch on a Duke w/ a Belisle style safety latch? 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

Several wraps of 14 gauge annealed wire around the spring arm and then twist it around the safety. This will keep the safety hook from swinging freely

That makes sense. Right after I submitted my post I thought about wrapping some tape around the spring or maybe some heat shrink. Appreciate the idea. How is the weather down in Gods Country today?

Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....
