I couldn't believe that...I had to take my 30 cal commercial grips off and look...Sure enough, you are correct - there is a long rounded cavity in the backstrap where the recoil spring fits (drill hole)...and your hole looks like it is right at the bottom of that cavity...

...I didn't think the backstrap was that thin...
