So... still not ready to get into my first PF45 build as I'm still waiting on a couple major parts (including a slide/barrel)... but wanted to fact-check something based on something I thought I remembered from an older MGB video regarding PF45 trigger housings. I know that the 21SF housing is the one we need for the PF45. And that even with that part (5406), it may need some sanding in order to sit flush. Of course, the 5406 is unobtainium right now, and likely for a long time. I happen to have an 8203 G21 housing, which I probably bought a year ago in my rush to gather parts before I realized it was the wrong housing. It does have the correct 8196-2 ejector. Here's where I need your help in fact-checking: I seem to recall that the actual plastic housing of the 5406 itself, is the same housing as the Gen4 9mm? Just with a different ejector? Does that sound right? So... if I were to take one of my 30275s (9mm Gen4), take out the ejector and replace it with the 8196-2 ejector from my 8203 housing... am I good to go? (I'd save the Gen4 9mm ejector to use in one of my Gen3 housings) If this is a viable fix... it might give me a little flexibility on a path forward towards my other PF45 builds, in that I can look for availability of both 5406 housings, and 8203 housings (in order to scavenge the 8196-2 out of them). Or, if anyone has a lead on any aftermarket or individual 8196-2s, please share.
