Even though I had put my Busse G-10 grips on my Colt Commander they were too slim and ended up being loose. I used some small O-rings to try to make it fit but that wasn't the answer. I tried to find something that was in the form of a slim sheet that I could shape and use as a spacer.

Locally I found a Hobby Shop with sheets of 0.040"
and 0.060" Styrene for less than $4 so I figured
I'd give it a shot. I picked up the 0.040".

I traced them and cut them out with a box cutter.
---
---
The first one came out pretty good with a little
help from the Bear Cub, the stone on the Dremel
and some fine sandpaper.
---

Now the grips fit good and snug and look great.
It's really got that 'stealth' thing going for it.

The did add some noticable thickness to the gun's
grip but I don't know how that will effect it yet.
0.080" doesn't sound like much but when you are accustomed
to the narrower grip it makes a diffefence.
