Grip screw head for CDS9

jsgross · Sep 7, 2025

Hi,
I noticed that my grip on my CDS9 was slightly loose. I searched here and on the Internet and it seems that it takes a 3/32 Allen. It doesn’t appear to fit properly. Is it me or do I have the size wrong.
Thanks in advance

3/32 fits the grip screws on my 1911’s, so I would say it’s the same for the CDS9. You could also try a Torx T10 and see if it fits better.

You might want to put some o-rings on the grip screws. This will help stop them from loosing up. You can find them on the Challis website or eBay.

Thanks to all of you!

The o-rings JC suggested work great and are made specifically for this- in a pinch #60 o-rings from Home Depot work pretty well also.

I have used the #60 o-rings, they are just a little too thick but they do work.

It is a Torx T8 Bit.
