Have you tried Ebay? Believe it or not, there's a ton of 1911 parts on Ebay. When it comes to something like this, were manufacture isn't really that important...might as well get it from Ebay.

I've had a bunch of 1911s over 42yrs and never needed one.. Sure glad I never bought 100..:eek:

You have to be careful on 1911 grip screws!! Some are so cheaply made that you can twist the head right off of them.

Michael, try John Masen for the grip screws in quantity!! I called and was told you could get any number of grips screws that you wanted.

Wow, 100:eek:

You'll probably go your entire life and not use half that many hehe.:D

Spend more per a screw and buy less, but in a higher quality...and they wont likely ever strip out on you. (and find a screwdriver that fits the slot perfectly and keep it in your cleaning kit just for tht purpose). The improper tool is often what wrecks screws

I think I will give John Masen a call. Ya never know... some of these might be my next Karma giveaways....

Another good tip to keep from stripping hex screws is to buy a good set of ball-end hex keys (allen wrenches if you prefer). They are almost guaranteed to completely seat in the screw (and stay seated), even if you do not have it perfectly straight in the hole.

The ones they sell at Home Depot are very good.

These work very well. http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...lutz/012-1.jpg

I think I'd contact Remsport. They supply 1911 "manufacturers" with frames, slides, etc. Maybe grip screws, too.
