Trigger Guard Screw or Strain Screw

[martyd]

I have a known Trigger Guard Screw. The tip is Flat

I have another screw which is just like the trigger guard screw except the tip is slightly rounded but do not remember where it came from.

Are the trigger guard screws and the strain screw the same screw?

No, the trigger guard screw is about 1/4" - 5/16" in length depending on frame size. The strain screw is larger and about 5/8" in length.

The two screws you have might both be trigger guard screws.

No, the strain screw is noticeably larger. I'm thinking maybe you mean sideplate screw. You don't say what gun that is for, but in the older ones, there were 2 sideplate screws that were alike, with rounded head and a non threaded part at the end, and another shorter one threaded all the way and flat on the head.

Thank you for your input, it helped me determine the screws are both strain screws.
