    Good evening all, When trying to replace my GCNM grips with Wilson combat starbursts the Grip Screw Bushing came undone and is stuck in the grip. Ive tried to remove it with pliars and the screwdriver and cant no matter what. Regardless, just need to replace the grip screw and bushing on one...

    Just like it says, I'm hunting for new or lightly used 3.5" barrels, specifically the non- ramped, Colt style, with bushing. Any reasonable price paid.

    In an ad for a 38Super small bore barrel and on the EGW site I’ve seen references to a “small bore” barrel and bushing. How would a “small bore” bushing & barrel compare to those in my GM Colt? I appreciate your helpfulness. Dave

    VZ grips will not fit flush to frame, can see light between grips/frame with hex drive bushings. Seems a little off that even Wilson vz grips will not fit. I really like the idea of hex drive bushings, but none of my other grips fit flush. Anybody run into this before?

    4" bull barrel vs 4.25" bushing barrel? Why come out with 4.25" when they already had great success with 4"? Pros and Cons on both please? Considering my next purchase w/ my last thread the steel vs aluminum frame, now to decide on barrel length. This will be a carry gun in .45. I can't...
