Holy **** SA....
So I would like to thank springfield armory for putting the ****tiest screws in my grips ever... Upon changing I had to drill 2 out because they are so soft... What a joke...

We have another member who had his front sight fly off after just a few rounds on a brandspanking new gun.
I'll still probably end up with one though.

Take the originals with you, and if they match up then go ahead. I'd personally buy some replacements from brownell's or midway, but like you said, that would take some time.
I don't want to insult your intelligence, but you're aware of the consequences of using the wrong screws and stripping the holes right? Totally not fun, and your gun will be down for much longer than if you just order the application specific screws from somebody.

Ace probably has a better selection than HD. Look in the phone book for a fastener store. We have one that is up to their nuts in screws. Dont forget the gun shops or gun smiths.

also be aware of the length, if they protrude into the magazine well, they could bind the magazine. i had this happen when i used regular grip screws with a set of thin grips. had to use the stock grips until my new shorter screws arrived.

That's strange...
What SA model is it?
I have an SA loaded and mine did not have lock tight on the grip screws. On the grip bushings (where they screw into the frame - yes) but not on the actual screws themselves.

Champion operator. Would any basic colt grip screws be the same I can't seem to find any specs on them?
