Hand fitting wood grips??

[Mickstix]

Hey fellas, does anyone know how I might go about getting these Herrett's to fit my J frame a little better?? I got em in an auction, so they weren't custom made for this particlar gun, but they are "J-frame" round butt grips.. Thanks for any ideas, or techniques..

Find the spot that is keeping them from comming together and route it out with yer pocket knife.

They might be sitting on the locating pin that goes through the base of the grip frame.

Oops, I should of included "fellets" in my OP..

What's the fix if they are sitting on the pin? Deepen the holes in the grip?? Thanks Joni, and 20nickels!

Just deepen the hole on each grip panel.

I agree with Joni. From the looks of them in your photos, they are indeed sitting on the locating pins. Just use an appropriate size drill bit, and twist it by hand, taking out a little at a time until the grips sit tight together at the bottom. I have done this to several sets, and it only takes a few minutes.
