Thank you for your feedback! We wanted to clarify what you’re seeing between your original shell and the replacement you received.
Your original shell was one of our injection-molded shells, which is why it has more molded-in detail as well as the recessed/countersunk screw holes. Your replacement shell is not injection molded and is the style used for approximately 95% of our Cloak Shells. The difference in appearance is simply due to the different manufacturing processes and is not an indication that the replacement was rushed or improperly made.
We can also see in your photo that you’re currently using the flat-head screws from your original injection-molded shell on the new shell. Those screws were designed to sit down inside the countersunk holes on your original shell, which is why they appear to stick out when used with the replacement.
For your new shell, you’ll want to use the “Screw, Button Head Hex Drive 8-32 x 0.500 (1/2 in)” screws instead. The button-head screws are designed for this style of shell and will sit properly against the surface rather than sticking out as the flat-head screws currently do.
We’re glad to hear your pistol fits properly, and we hope this helps explain both the difference in appearance and the hardware needed for your replacement shell!
