The gun & the grips with that grain look great. How did your grip screws do with the wood. I know with my plastic ones I have to watch them at the range because they loosen especially the bottom right one.

... I have to watch them at the range because they loosen especially the bottom right one.

Easy to fix with a drop of nail polish. Jocko has a bottle of hot pink he may lend you.


I know. That was baaaaaaahd.

I would use the nail polish first. I clean under the grips after shooting because crud gets down there from oil seeping down & with the grips off you have good access to clean other areas. Loctite makes it harder to get the screws out.

well for dame sure buy the PURPLE locktite not hte redor blue for those screws. The purple is the weakest and most all gun shops sell that color for scope screws. Some have found very smll "O" rings to solve that issue to. U gotta be alittle careful on the right grip thatit doesn't come loose as that grip at the top has a metal plate (Ithink) where it rest against the trigger bar andif that grip gets loose it can letthat trigger bar get out os sync and cause issues. Keep the right side grip tight.

My K9 grips came loose like that and I just went back to the all rubber grips that ame on it, I liked the looks of the wood but not the hassle and their sizeeite.r

KEEP ANY CLEANING SOLVENTS OFF THOSE GRIPS or u will be sending them to the colonel to get refinished, and he only does refinish work in PINK.

Nice gun, just shoot it like u stole it..Just sain

anutter thing to be very careful with is tht upper portion of that right grip where that metal plate is inserted in the back of that grtip. THAT IS ONE FOKKING FRAGILE AREA there, bump it and it will break, PERIOD.

Thanks Trent. I'm currently in New Zealand visiting relatives and missing my enforcers badly. Badly missing the smell of gun powder and the sounds of Freedom!
