K9 wood grips kind of a let down

Wow. Nice work, sir.

They really are good looking!

I'm wondering if those wouldn't fit a new MK if you used a washer or spacer under the grip to take up the space where the new frame is cut out.

There doesn't appear to be any difference anywhere else, and regular length 1911 screws should be long enough to make it to the inside of the frame. Hmmmm.....

I also have a new pair of checkered wood grips purchased thru kahr's web site and yup, same thing, a 1mm gap between the two grips at the base. I've tried everything I could think of short of putting a sanding block to the grips. I'll go back & put them back on & try tightening the bottom screws first. I don't remember trying to tighten them in any certain order but I'll go give it a shot.
