1991 Tuner:
I was trying to change grips on one of my 1911s tonight.
The grip screw bushing came out along with the grip panel.
I put the old grip back on and it tightened up OK.
I have had 1911s for a long time and switched grips around some, but this has never happened before.
If I want to change grips, will I have to get a gunsmythe to put the bushing back and make it stay, or will a couple smears of Locktite take care of things?
The little buzzard was stuck in the grip panel firmly enough so I figured the best idea was to leave it there. That way I still have a functioning gun.
