Buying ONLY grip screws

Post by MBGuy »

I'm wanting to replace my P239's rusty grip screws with the stainless steel ones from Hogue. I've found them at topgun and midway, but the shipping is twice the cost of the screws. As much as I'd like to add to the list of items to purchase to make the shipping charges worthwhile, I don't really want to do that. The only stores I have around me in the Katy area are Bass Pro Shop and Academy, and I seriously doubt they're going to even know what I'm talking about. Does anyone know of any gunshops in the (Far) West Houston area that might stock either the Sig nickel plated screws or the Hogue SS screws?

Talk about getting the screws put to ya!
FWIW, IIRC, AFAIK, FTMP, IANAL. YMMV.

MBGuy,

Try http://www.mcmaster.com. Although its not a gun supply, it is a great place to find pretty much anything you need including hard to find fasteners. Good user friendly website.

Find a grip dealer at the next gun show. The screws you're looking for are common.

Try Brownell's they have a light item shipping that is reasonable. They have the Hogue screws they are $8.50 per set.

Any smith worth his salt will waive the minimum service charge for swapping a couple of screws. For some reason, very few will just sell me a set of screws, (or in the case of my Mod10, the cylinder release screw/nut/thingy) but they'll install them for about $2 plus parts.

Oh well, $7 for the screw installed, or $12 to order it. (with shipping)

My advice would be to call Tom at Top Gun Supply and see what he'll do. I had a similar situation a while back and couldn't wait till I had my next big order from them; he was great and sent them out to me standard mail. Several months later when a screwdriver broke I spoke with him about it and had a new one in my hands in two days, no charge to me, and even sent a return label to send the broken one back to him. Great customer service...
