Grip Screws

I worry about the grip screws trusting on my P220, since I found a little rust on my rear sight. I also don't care for the flat blade screws that's on it. So I found that Hogue makes allen head screws from 416 Stainless. Should I put Blue Loctite on them?

Am I the only one that is "nit-picky" over little things like that?

Yes, and in most cases, you will need to use your grip screw washers too, or the screws will protrude into the magazine well, and bind your magazine up.

OP,
Forget the LocTite option(s)

Use the star/lock washers that may stay in the screw counter bores of the grip panels.

I have P220 W.German grip screws from the 80's that look as NIB,when removed w/ hollow ground screw drivers.....correctly.

Before I sold my 220R Nitron, I struggled to keep the Hogue hex screws tight on the Hogue Piranha grips. IIRC those grips were too shallow to use the Sig washers.

Vibratite fixed the problem.

On my Legion 220, the OEM screws / washers stay put with the OEM grips, without any need for a thread locker or Vibratite (beyond any amount that was applied at the factory). The same is true for my 226s.

Yes... it does need the washers to insure the threads don't protrude into the Magazine well...

Hogue hex screws and a tiny dab of blue Loctite (like, 1/16 to 1/8" diameter half-drip) on all my Sigs, regardless of grips or year of manufacture. Original screws for the older ones are cleaned, Barricade sprayed, bagged, and left in the box.

It seems like the Hogue screws are the wrong thread pitch. They bind up as I start them.

Nearly 12 bucks for 4 screws and they don't effing fit!

By the way, mine does not have inserts in the frame for the screws. The holes in the frame have the threads tapped in the stainless steel.

Here are mine... part of your problem may be optical illusion... as my 1st photo shows, the threaded hole doesn't seem "centered", but you appear to have the correct screws...

Well, I was wrong about it being the physical diameter.

I remove the grip, and try to start them in the hole. They just won't go.


Edit: I was being a sissy with them, and didn't want to force them. I used a little force and it started. I was just paranoid about screwing my gun up. Sorry guys.

But it does look better 😄
