This grip kit includes a spacer block which you can use to
fill in below the gun butt, and use these grips on a small
frame Cobra or similar "Detective Special" style. Colt made
several different sizes and shapes of grip frames using
the same basic model of gun, so the only way to know for
sure if you would need to fit a spacer between the grip
panels is to send a tracing or compare measurements.
Grip Measurements
- Overall height = 3.138 inch
- Width across top = 2.08 inch
- Width across screw hole = 1.50 inch
- Width across base (widest part) = 1.916 inch
- Height of screw hole from base = 1.58 inch
- Hole center to front edge = 0.68 inch
The grips are large and rounded, just like some of the
original Cobra grips of the "oversized" style. The grips
are larger than the metal frame of the gun, usually. Depends
on the particular gun frame. But if so, just hold the
grips up to the frame, fit the top snugly, and use a pencil
to mark the outline of the frame on the back of the grip.
Then, align the bottom of the spacer block with the bottom of the
grip, and mark the area to cut away to clear the frame, leaving
front and back projections to blend into the outline of
the frame.
The block is secured to one panel using ordinary 5-minute
epoxy glue, found at nearly all hardware and hobby stores.
Once the block has been cut so it will allow the grip to
fit on the gun, then glued in place on one grip, the grip
and block can be sanded so they look like one piece.
The grips are then mounted on the gun (marking and drilling
the shallow alignment pin hole). With both grip panels
solidly in place, you can sand the second panel and block
edge to blend together. To make the base area even more
solid when assembled on the gun, drill two shallow blind
holes in the spacer and press small roll pins or dowel pins
of 1/8 to 3/16 inch diameter into the holes, leaving 1/8
to 3/16 inch of the pin sticking up. Put Magic Marker ink
on the end of the pins, press the other grip panel in place,
then remove it and drill shallow holes to match the marks
produced on the surface. Now the base will be firmly
pinned in place, while allowing the grips to be removed
easily.
