Pachmayr SK-G Grip Problem

[ezypikns]

I purchased some Pachmayr SK-G Gripper grips for my S&W Model 10-8 (square butt). They fit OK, but I can't quite close the gap toward the trigger guard. Is there some trick I don't know, or am I expecting too tight a fit?

They SHOULD be flush, is the strain screw screwed all the way in to the forestrap? Hahe you tried just squeezing the grip halves together ?

Strain screw is in all the way

"They SHOULD be flush, is the strain screw screwed all the way in to the forestrap? Hahe you tried just squeezing the grip halves together ?"

I've tried squeezing them, but that doesn't work either. There's a roll pin
pressed into the frame which seems to not fit into the grips properly. Maybe I just have grips that don't quite fit.

I had the same problem with a pair of Pac grips on my GP100. I just got rid of them and bought a pair of Butler Creek's.

Keep trying. I just put a pair of Pachmyr Compacs on a Model 65 and I didn't think they were ever going to fit right. I finally was able to get them on tight and manged to get the gap to disappear. There wasn't really any secret as far as I can tell. The only trick was to make sure they were on all the way first before trying to close em up.
