    Tightening the G10 Grip - What screw type?

    I have a Performance Center 1911 with the G10 Grips. One has become loose and I want to tighten it down, but for the life of me I can't find what screw type it uses. It looks like a six-point star, but can't determine what size, (though I know it's small.) Anyone have any suggestions?

    Serial Number Data Base

    Does S&W have a database available online that you can enter the SN of your gun to find the build date? I have an old Model 1917 with a 104xxx serial number I would like to trace.

    Anoying doctor's visit

    Yes, I know this. I just choose to use a moon clip.

    Model 1917 .45 Revolver

    Well, after a decade, I decided to take this gun to the range and shoot. Since it shoots .45 ACP with moon/half-moon clips to make the shell ejection easier, I took one of those as well. Unfortunately, I forgot the ejector tool and ended up only shooting 12 rounds before I stopped. Pulling...

    Model 1917 .45 Revolver

    Being new to the group, my last reply included photos but they did not post. What did I do wrong? I thought I posted correctly.

    Model 1917 .45 Revolver

    Thanks all for the responses and comments. I have dated my firearm to 1918 per the serial number. Several of you have asked for pictures. Here are two of the weapon and one of my Grandfather taken, I believe, during WWI.

    Model 1917 .45 Revolver

    I own a S&W Model 1917 .45 revolver that used to be my Grandfather's service revolver. The SN starts with 104xxx. Are there any recommended websites I could visit that may have a database on these serial numbers? I would like to see exactly how old this firearm is, if possible. I do still...
