| If you get new screws my advice is to test each one individually by slowly manually threading it into the frame without grips. Some time ago I received a set of replacement screws from Brownells and one of them would not thread all the way in. It went about half way down and stopped.
Had I just screwed it in with a screwdriver without checking I think I would have eventually ruined the threads in that hole of the frame.
I don't really know if the screw was defective and this happened quite a while ago but I know I didn't use it. |

| Most grips will only require standard length screws. I said most, I've seen some "handmade", or "custom" grips that are thick... looked like a smoothed 2x4 stuck on the gun. Obviously some grips like that may need extended length screws. |

| I was putting Nill-Griffe logo grips on my example of the same and the standard screws barely thread. Short enough, its a little concerning. I pulled the screws off my P226 Combat and they're a good 2mm longer so any modern 226 screw should suffice if you're wood grips are thick.
I've also had good luck using an end mill bit on a Dremel to create a deeper pocket on a set of Walther PP walnut grips when the screw wouldn't reach the escutcheon. Not ideal but no readily available solutions on that one so I had to improvise. |
