Obviously this is speculation but if anyone would do it and do it right I think Apex tactical would be the top choice.

Langdon tactical, certainly the right one, however I could see several others, both having the skills and resources... Wilson Combat as one for example.
Now, I didn't look very hard but I struggled to find a single striker fired gun on the Wilson website a few moments ago. What did I miss?Originally Posted by beenalongtime
Why would they be interested in something like the SCD that's out of sync with everything* else they do?
*if I'm just plain wrong about the first thing

As I said, one example.
Going to another extreme, to me, someone like Palmetto state armory is another group that has the skills, money and marketing. This could be beneficial to all of us.

Has anyone taken one apart and if so, what's the retention method for the pin? Maybe a compression fit in the ears of the back plate with a slightly larger diameter bore in the center hinge to allow for rotation?
I can't get the pin to walk out by applying limited force with the end of a needle (don't have a small enough punch yet) but I'm interested in modifying a couple of Gen 4 gadgets to fit Gen 5 guns. By the time I made the switch to Gen 5s, SCDs were unobtanium so I'm getting ready to do some surgery with a file or have a machinist acquaintance of mine mill the right side notch to fit.
Would be a little concerned about applying force to the pin when pushing a file over the two plates. Also not sure the backplate would be secure enough to the cover plate via the pin to keep from damaging the pin during milling if the two plates couldn't be adequately locked together/down.
Any thoughts?

Clamp them together in a vise with a gun bench block insert.
You could also use a Dremel on a cheap eBay knock off to practice…
Given that the SCD is now open source, if they ever again come to market it would probably be as a commodity product offered by many small companies. In such an event the consumer's purchase decision would reasonably be priced based, with the low-cost provider prevailing. Sales then become a race to the bottom. Under the above conditions, I can't think of many domestic sources that would be interested in providing the product.
I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah those are similar to my thoughts. If it wasn’t an attractive business for Tom I’m worried it won’t be attractive for any other reputable supplier. We shall see.
