I was wondering the same thing. I guess you drill a hole in the bottom of it. LOL

What holds the grips on, super glue?

Glue? Yeah, glue, that's it.

Actually there is a piece of wood glued to each side inside the grip frame.

Here's my new disassembly stand.

This is a prototype made of delrin. It should be a lot easier to keep clean.

As Jack O'Neill would say: "Magnets."

There is a rare earth magnet inset in the wood under the butt of the revolver.

I sent one to someone at Colt. I was told everyone there thought it was pretty cool.
