Just in case someone need it, obsolete grips can

be found on the net by several vendors or Triple-K. They make exact reproductions (sometimes not exactly cheap but if you NEED them). Colt is awful to have the lower front hunks of old gutta percha torn off the grips where the frame through pin holds the grips in place. BTW that material is the same as what they fill your root canal in with, just an older version.

Remember that old Astra we bought for $100 the other day, with busted grips? $18 later and one filed grip screw. The seller requested I send him a picture for his online display of the grips.

I could not resist the cheeky photo op. Irv, this one is for you!
