I'll be thinking about a palm shelf of some sort next.
Even better - just slip it on over the existing barrel and tighten a grub screw - what could be easier?
If I align my Love21 with my Morini 162ie the following measurement may be handy if you are considering increasing the sight base and adding exhaust ports:-
Aligning the rear sight blades with each other shows the Lov21 to be 80mm shorter (when measured from the end of the protruding steel barrel to the tip of the Morini's ported muzzle weight). Quite a nice extension opportunity to increase the sight base, improve the balance and add exhaust ports (possibly).
A palm shelf would make a big difference to being able to reliably repeat the grip each time the pistol is held.
These two mods would certainly shake things up a bit and give a budget pistol a massive upgrade!
