So I found this on aliexpress.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/VKBsim- ... 40182.html I was wondering if this is for the gunfighter mk1 or mk2? and If its for the mk1 will it still work with the mk2?

The changes they made between the Mk1 and Mk2 Gunfighters have to do with the physical connection between the base and grip. The Mk1 Gunfighters had 3 spring posts on top of the shaft the grip slips onto. The grips had a female version of the shaft with a corresponding 3 flat contacts inside. The Mk2 Gunfighters simply reversed this arrangement so the posts are now protected inside the grip shaft. That was the only difference between the versions.
What this means is that a Mk1 grip won't work on a Mk2 base as you'd just have 2 sets of flat contacts that won't contact each other. I can't imagine the opposite arrangement being workable either as I think if it even made contact it'd be inconsistent at best.
