Picture of the two sear housings.
Attached FileMy old 1.0 frame had a notch formed in the bottom of the frame for that tab to fit into. I test fitted it before even trying to put the trigger/trigger bar locking lug back in the frame. Got it lined up and pushed it right down into place. I did have some issues at the final install trying to get the sear housing hole, safety lever holes and frame holes lined up to insert/drive in the rear role pin. I ended up inserting the pin from the right side of the frame to get it through most of the way and that made it easier to get the left side of the safety lever aligned.
If there had not been that dip/cut in the frame that seemed to be there for that tab I'd have had to do some work to see the purpose of the tab and whether or not removing it would affect anything.
I've already ordered parts to do a similar install/mod on a 1.0 sub compact .40. If that frame is different I'll share the pictures. I'll add those pictures to this thread when I do that swap.
Wish I taken a picture of the inside of the frame at the rear but I didn't think about it once the test fit showed the sear housing fitting in just fine.
No mods to the frame at all. I did seem to have more alignment issues with the trigger pin (but then again, I couldn't find my Apex yellow slave pin either) than usual. I'd say any alignment issues I had up front was due to the lack of a slave pin.
So far, just dry firing and working the slide back and forth I'm pretty happy with it. Like I said, planing to do it again in a week or so when the parts come in (and that darn slave pin, too.)
