Thanks

My grips showed up today and all I was expecting and more but the Kimber hex screws worked just fine. FYI I know you were all waiting to find out ! LOL

Glad the gunners worked out well for you.

I had to use a 1/2" drill bit by hand to flare the holes on mine enough to clear the grip bushings. When I first got them and saw the problem, I called the company and had a very nice chat with Rob Simonich, who offered to hand-fit a new pair to my pistol if I could not make the first set work, which I did with no trouble.

Sadly, he was killed about two weeks later when his truck rolled on the way back from a hunt with his brother. He was a gentleman.

I just got a pair of black ones- they fit my kimber fine.

I used two small rubber o-rings and the wobble went away.
