I have a P226 Blackwater with the black wood grips. The wood grips are a bit to thick for my liking. Will the screws off the wood grips work with the plastic grips or are they to long.

The screws from the wood grips are too long and have a smaller head. They were sticking a 1/16- 1/8" into the magwell.  I thought when I bought the gun there was an extra set of screws with the plastic grips.  However, I found the grips, but can't find the screws in my gun safe.  Any ideas on where I can buy a new set of screws?

Just got my screws from brownells. 4 screws cost 5 bucks to ship. Midway has a $25 minimum order or they charge extra

If you have a Lowes near by pick up a package of  HILLMAN brand (# 880390) #8 Lock Washers/internal tooth.  They‘re in the specialty bolts/washers and screws section where the pull out drawers are. They come four to the package for about a dollar. Use them with the longer grip screws you have on hand and the OE polymer grips. Work just fine.
