Badger Grip Questions

I just got my Rosewood full-sized grips for my 3" SP101 from Badger.
I can honestly say it went from being an ugly duckling to being the prettiest gun in my stable. It's now my official BBQ gun!

I do have a couple of questions though.

1 - Will any speedloader work? I have only been using speed strips to this point but was just wondering anyway.

2 - Am I supposed to use the screw that came with the gun or the screw that came with the Badgers?

Thanks!

I have badger grips on my S & W 642 and some Eagle Grips on my SP101. I have used speed strips with both but I find now with the new grips - speedloaders will not work. The wood grips get in the way. I think I could file down the wood grips to make it work.

I have Badger grips on on four of my S&Ws.
With the j frames it's harder to use the speedloaders.

I would use the screw that came with the badgers and keep the other screw with the original grips. The grips and screw were designed to fit your revolver and it would not make sense to me to use the other screw.

Use the screw that came with thenew grips. The old one won't fit. That's what I did to mine. Both my SP-101 and 637 wear badger wood. :D

the old screw goes with the old grips and the new screw goes with the new grips. badgers makes some fantastic grips by the way.
