    How do you get one off a grip screw? For some reason my grip screw seized with the bushing and unscrewed the bushing from the frame. I'm positive the screw didn't go in cross threaded. Any tips?

    .38 Super w/Officer's frame?

    Does anybody make a 1911 with a commander barrel and a officer's sized frame? I've never seen anything other than full sized mags for .38 super. I guess therein lies the answer, however, I still think this would be a nice carry piece. Any thoughts?
