Hello: I have an old style Ghost pin holster for my STI 2011. I was wondering what diameter drill bit I need to drill the grip. Yes, I did do a search but to no avail. Thanks, Eric

Easy way to mark frame for hole, place gun in holster and crank the pin up until it makes a dimple in the trigger guard, thus marking the hole point. You probably know this, but thought it might help. I also locktite the pin after you adjust it correctly.

If you would rather not drill your grip, Angus at CZ Custom (Ghost Holster) has upgrade kits for the older Ghost Holsters. They are the new no-pin design and seemed fairly reasonable cost wise.

Hello: I have tried the new style Ghost with no pin and actually prefer the pin type one better. I don't mind drilling a small hole in the STI grip since it has been ground on, polished and stippled :roflol: So if anyone has an old pin type STI Ghost holster I could use a spare :cheers: Thanks, Eric
