What was I thinking?

"What was I thinking?"

Don't feel bad. About 40-some odd years ago a nickel Model 29 was being traded around town. Nobody wanted the "hairdryer" gun. I ended up with it. The grips were too big for me so I took a wood rasp to them.

I bought a used set of unknown brand Target grips for my model 63. They’re beautiful wood but have some play in them when I shoot. I stuffed some cotton cleaning patches between the frame and wood to take up slack temporarily but that’s not a long term solution. I was thinking about trying some wood filler but hesitated pending some research to see if that’s the best solution. There’s not much play but just enough to annoy.

I’d also thought about gluing a strip of very thin wood in there. Both could be sanded for a perfect fit.

Any thoughts from someone that has experience?

Your problem aside, those are beautiful grips.
