i'd recommend leaving it alone & obtaining another one with a rail.

welcome from az

 

I would say don't do it. A weapon mounted light can be handy on a house gun, but not handy enough to add an aftermarket rail IMO. Just get a handheld light, or a weapon with an integral rail.

Please don't do that to your gun. I agree with Bear--get another if you want a rail.

I have one with no rail and one with.

Since I help and hunt a realitive's ranch I carry the one with rail with a light attached. It is in 357 and I know it will take a deer out to 50 yard(energy wise). This is handy if I walk up on a hog, Buck in rut, coyote or puma. Yes they are all on the property(burnet county Texas).

Otherwise my 9 mm is in my everyday carry rotation. 1987 made and only thing I have had done to it is fresh night sites.

The railed sits in a night stand mounted holster when home. I want something for the two legged vermin.

 

Dom, the rail being talked about isn't a light mounting rail on the bottom of the frame. It is the rail that attaches the frame to the slide. It makes the slide move backwards to eject the fired round, and put a new round into the chamber, to go into battery. that is the rail that needs to be greased. get guys are real good here maybe one will show a picture of the rails that need to be greased. I am an old man and don't know how to post pictures.
