If y'all think I'm capable,, I'll help with judging.

I got my latest ROCS Journal the other day. (Excellent as usual)!

But I was sorely saddened by the discovery that Jim Schafer had passed away. I hadn't heard of his passing. Jim was truly a gentleman & we'll miss him.
Thoughts & prayers out to his family.

I forgot to add that I have since modified 92) of the grip frame screws a little. I chucked them in my lathe, and cut back the hex sides a little further. I found the screw shanks could possibly rub the trigger guard on a few of them. So I cut the hex edges back a bit & rounded them a little too.

Or you can check the grip locator pin & hole. Some folks have filled in the hole,, then re-drilled it to fit better. Oh,,...

A good one to find for sure. It appears to be a "long frame" (not 100% sure,) so yes,, a better looking set of grips would be a hard thing to find. And as noted above,, storing them in those boxes is NOT a good idea. Now,, if it's a regular grip frame,, you can have an easier time getting ...
