STI Grip Screws

[IHMSA15151]

I have a factory STI grip that I bought used a while back. Mounted it on my Steel Master and when I went to put in the lower screws it became apparent that there were no threads left. I know they are basically ornimentle but anyone have any thoughts on attaching them? I guess I could just epoxy them in. Any ideas?

If you're right handed, lower left is invisible anytime your wearing it in a holster or shooting it.... super glue if it makes you feel better, otherwise having a screw there in the first place is a dumb design destined for failure.  My opinion is that it's a tool, don't get overly concerned with preserving the sticker on your dewalt. If it's causing grip issues that's entirely different and should be addressed.

 

the correct way to fix that screw would likely entail recessing a T nut on the inside similar to how the frame is held in place and done  correctly would cost more than a new grip. Personally it would be a valid excuse to "need" a steel grip and that's what I'd do

Or get it stippled and contoured and it will be removed anyway.....

Epoxy is your friend.

 

Or what Trace said.

When I was stippling and reducing grips I would run across one now and then that was stripped. Super glue works well and any of the clear quick set epoxies will do it.-----------Larry
