Replacement grip screws for S&W 642

[Dan Forrester]

I purchased a NIB no lock S&W model 642 about 3 months ago as a CCW piece down here in Florida. It’s just about the perfect carry piece except for one thing. The grip screw on the left side of the pistol is rusting very quickly. Does anyone have a source for a stainless steel replacement screw for this pistol?

Thanks,

Dan

Same thing happened to me with Uncle Mike's boot grips.
I took the screw to a good hardware store and they matched
the original screw with a stainless one.
I think it cost me $1.25 for 6 of them.

Please post a part number or size size or some such. The same thing has happened to me!

I had a similar issue. I called S&W to ask about buying a replacement one, but they just sent me one for free (free shipping too!). Not stainless steel, but pretty good customer service.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
