Default Grip fix

I had a long discussion with a "grip expert" at last week's gun show. He said no pin was to be used with the Hogues. I don't think he was correct. Mine slip off my 5906 just as described by the OP taking the trigger spring with them of course. The original pin mikes .140" in diameter. ( 9/64" ) by about 1.10 length. Either replace the original pin or get anything about an inch long in .125-.140 diameter. (Drill rod, sawed off nail, steel modeling rod. etc.) Insert this in the original pin location. This will keep the block in place and the grips are fastened to the block and will keep the pin in place. Problem solved! A lot of the 5906's on the market are coming through with no pins. The gun is not reliable without a pin of some sort.
