Challace "screws" for 1911's?

[2A2Dend]

Can anyone tell me where I can find grip screws, in challace/thread format?
To make myself clear, not the screws that thread in-to the bushing, but screws that hold the grip on, and thread directly to the frame.

Here's another way of explaining my need.

Call them....grip screws that are challace bushing diameter and thread pitch

Don't know what your talking about but try:
Shooters Service Center
8242 N Lombard St
Portland, OR 97203
(503) 289-1280

They are 1911 focused.

No. Those are challace "bushings"
Essentially what I'm looking for, are challace bushings that are solid steel and threaded to the frame threads, (but without the extra above the flange that the grips seat on top of) and is tightened with an allen wrench or torx driver.

Ah; I think I see the disconnect: You're seeking a straight, single-connection solution bypassing the bushings altogether with just a screw of the pitch and diameter of the particular challice bushing that you're looking to delete?
I'd suggest going into a good Ace hardware and asking the nuts n bolts guy. Can't be too far off a standard thread. Maybe a #10-32? Curious to see what you find...

I found a tap for standard 1911 bushings through Midway; the size is indeed a bit weird.

Unless Challise is using a proprietary threading (unlikely), this may be what you're looking for. Though I'm pretty sure Ace doesn't carry that... Good luck!

note:
Swenson taps are made of solid steel and designed for use on the 1911 grip frame.

Notes:

Requires Grip Bushing Tap 7/32" and Grip Screw Tap #31

Perhaps images will help.
