• Q: I went to swap out the original grip on this revolver only to realize I do not have the tip needed to do so. It’s rather embarrassing to ask but I never looked & assumed it was flat tip, nope. Not cross tip either. But once I know I can buy or borrow what I need. Thx.

  A:

  If I recall correctly Tim, that is an allen screw, that takes an allen, or hex, wrench. If you look closely it would resemble a ';honeycomb' shape inside the screw hole. Just make sure you have the correct size that fits snugly into the head of the screw to avoid stripping out the shoulders on the inside of the screw head. Wallie World has some Stanley Allen wrench sets that I have bought to carry in my range bag - they're inexpensive and of fairly good quality, fold up compactly and are 'attached' to the handle so they're easy to keep up with - fold up and close sort f like a picket knife. I think that would solve your situation. . If the screw is not a hex/allen head screw then it would be a torx type - resembles a star inside the screw head. Photo of the two different types here - hex/allen screw on top. Again, Wally World has torx wrench sets as well Photo here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Torx-hex-contact-angles-forces.svg/220px-Torx-hex-contact-angles-forces.svg.png
