Cut the side lugs off, they are small maybe .25"X.50" and plastic. Cut a small notch so the extractor has a recessed groove to rest in.

You have a dry fire device and a ECI all in one.
I use this in my Pardini's

I got the bright idea to cut the anchor lip off where the extractor rides.   I also cut off the other side so that each wall anchor could be used in two orientations.  I tried it and I can fire on the same anchor 3-6 times without taking the pistol out of my grip.    Others may have figured it out before me.
