    Detective special grip screw help

    I ordered a pair of checkered wood grips from Numrich but they don't come with a screw. They list the Agent and Cobra but not the DS. Can someone tell me which one of these is the right screw for the second series short butt frame? I trid a direct link but it goes to the first page of the search...the screws are on page 2...thanks...

    Thanks...but that description shows all the Colt snubs as the same. My old style wood grips use a slightly shorter screw than the wood that comes on the 3rd issue models...also, the threads are different.

    Thanks..I already emailed Joe...

    I figure I might as well post the pics I sent to Joe in case anyone else has the same issue in the future.

    The screw on the right in each picture is the one I need for the stocks on the 66-72 model. The one on the left is for the larger stock wood on the post 72s. As you can see, the earlier model screw is slightly shorter and has a wider head but it's not as deep...
