Stay tuned to this page for some gun porn. Late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Oh yes, there will be guns...
Which brings me to the bleg. While taking pictures, I noticed that the grip screw on my 642 (stock rubber grips) is developing a nasty case of rust on the head. (Something about being carried IWB daily for the last eight months, I reckon.) Anyone know of a source for a stainless replacement?

Hm.
Don't know the thread pitch, but if it's not too obscure (which is typical for gunnie stuff), you might find it at a good hardware store. Bring the screw in question, & they can check the length & pitch & sell you one in SS. You might end up w/a hex head vs. a slot-type, but there you go.
Otherwise, Brownell's.
DT, I hadn't even considered trying the hardware store. Sheesh. Why try the obvious?!?
Brownell's appears to be a strikeout, as do Midway and Numrich.
Lowe's it is!
(It's already a hex screw, for whatever reason.)
Or for $15 at Midway you could order some Hogue Bantam Monogrips that don't require screws...
Just a thought.
Not a bad thought at all, Jay. But. :-)
The stock grips on the 642 fit my hand better and more naturally than any other handgun I have ever tried. I'm not willing to change that!
