AWESOME grip screws

[BigK]

I got 2 sets of stainless button hex head grip screws on eBay for $15 plus $2.49 shipping. The seller is grampjhack and he was awesome to do business with. He even sent me an 'apology' message for not being able to ship them out Saturday, even though I bought them very late in the evening. They shipped on Monday and arrived on Wednesday. Not bad, huh?

Best of all...they fit perfectly! I don't mean they were close enough to work...they were spot on! He even sent me 2 extra sets of the black ones, presumably because he's an awesome guy. Plus, the button head doesn't stick out as far as the originals, so they sit deeper in the grip screw holes. They don't even stick out inside the grip to interfere with the mags dropping when you snug them down well.

The black ones look better on my P-01 with the black rubber grips, but the stainless look better on my CZ 82 with the red wattle grips from Marschals.

What do you think?

Those are pretty sweet, might have to do another mod to the CZ...

I never understood the excitement about grip screws. What was wrong with the originals? They look good I suppose, but without you pointing them out, I would have never noticed anything different. On the other hand, those wooden grips are beautiful, and I can appreciate those without mention.

Those are some really expensive screws!

The original grip screw on my 82 are slotted, not phillips. You have to be real careful not to scratch up your expensive wood grips when you take them off. No excuse, but vanity for changing them out on the P-01. Still, I do like hex head screws better.

I was kind o thinking the same thing, a hex head would be harder to mess up than a regular philips or flat head. Either the bit fits or it doesn't so no more sloppy looking slots.

Of course some guys may prefer a sloppy slot, but hey I don't judge based on what people do in the privacy of home.

I do like those grips K, makes me jones for an 82 to doll up.

I could have gone all year without seeing that P01. Seller's remorse

[gjohnsoniv]

Or you could also go to the hardware store and get the same thing . Might actually try that with some brass metric screws if I can find some...

Nice grips. fyi... just about every size you can think of, typically $6-$10 per hundred.

I could've gotten plain black painted phillips head screws from the mfg or tried getting several close enough from a hardware store til I found ones that fit.

Since I don't know the thread form, thread pitch, major diameter, minor diameter, etc. of the originals, I didn't mind paying a little extra for dressy looking screws that I'm positive will fit.

...maybe I'll change my own oil or mow my own yard this time to recoup the loss.
