Actually.... the vision in my mind is the member (and I don't remember his name) whose wife threw out the paper towel containing all the pins and screws to his detail stripped 1911. I remember someone on the board asking for ANY extra parts. This was when I was first invited to join.

I can't imagine a better excuse for buying a new 1911, than the wife throwing the old one (in pieces) out.  I would at least try it once.  Joe

Have you tried Ebay? Believe it or not, there's a ton of 1911 parts on Ebay. When it comes to something like this, were manufacture isn't really that important...might as well get it from Ebay.

You have to be careful on 1911 grip screws!! Some are so cheaply made that you can twist the head right off of them.

Wow, 100
You'll probably go your entire life and not use half that many hehe. Spend more per a screw and buy less, but in a higher quality...and they wont likely ever strip out on you. (and find a screwdriver that fits the slot perfectly and keep it in your cleaning kit just for tht purpose). The improper tool is often what wrecks screws

Another good tip to keep from stripping hex screws is to buy a good set of ball-end hex keys (allen wrenches if you prefer). They are almost guaranteed to completely seat in the screw (and stay seated), even if you do not have it perfectly straight in the hole.
The ones they sell at Home Depot are very good.
