Good Product

I got these screws to use with a Hogue grooved rubber grip for my Colt 1911 Government Model. The combination of the bright Stainless Steel screws and the black monogrip really changed the appearance of the gun to the point that several people asked me if I had purchased a new 1911!

perfect but didnt fit para

Wish these fit but didnt and by time I ship them back id just be giving them away mabe. A gift

Great Quality & Good Looking

I messed up a screw and bushing attempting to install a Pachmayr Finger Groove grip on my Colt Government 38 Super. I ordered a set of the stainless bushings along with these matching hex screws. Taking the advise of one of the reviewers I also ordered a bushing tool which made the removal and installation of the new bushings a snap. These looked and functioned so well I removed the three good bushings and used this complete set of bushings and screws. The end result a much better looking 1911 with that stainless steel showing up on the black grip. I would highly recommend the stainless bushing & hex screws and certainly add one of those bushing tools to your order if you do not have one.

Great fit and enhance the appearance.

These stainless steel hex screws came with a hex wrench for installation. Removed my blued screws and simply installed these. They make a nice difference in the appearance of the gun also. I used these on my Thompson 1911TCA and had no problem with the fit.

What's to say

Switched over to the hex heads on my 1911's. Love 'em.

Great grip screws

I have a bad habbit of breaking the heads off most factory grip screws. Since I switched to the Wilson Combat screws, I havent broken one yet. They are definately stronger than stock and look great too.

DOES NOT FIT 1911 NORINCOS

I ordered 2 sets for my Norinco 1911s. The label in the Wilson packet says : Fits most 1911 Styles excet the Norinco * 1911. If I had gone to the Wilson internet site I would have known not to order this product. Will sell them on to someone with a suitable 1911.Would be great if they fitted.
