If you feel the LRD is going off early or the HOFWB is annoying, just call STI and ask them to send you a non-LRD extractor or the HOFWB modification kit. I'd like to listen in on the call if you don't mind.
Glad to help.

Now that is a good response!
Seriosely though, you might be onto something here. Did not cross my mind but, now that you mention LW.......makes me wonder. You see, I had forgot to loc-tite the grip screws after replacing the grips. The came loose during use, therefor ending my range trip early. I wonder if that caused a LW scenario causing the brass to the forehead...?...
It was telling me...."You dumbarse, you forgot your allen keys!" BONK!
