[QUOTE="clintbailey, post: 2265119, member: 8544"] I picked up a Rock Island compact (3.5") couple days back and it came with the factory smooth wood grips and a set of the Hogue wrap finger groove grips. The Hogue's are nice to shoot with so far, but I would like to change them to something thinner and lighter for carry purposes. Does any of the members here make grips, or is there anywhere local that sells decent grips? Would like to see them up close before buying really. Also, the front sight post on this gun is kinda poor, and it is not dovetailed in. When I take the slide apart, I can look under the sight post and it looks like it just has a post sticking through the slide top that has been brazed/welded in a little bit. My question is, when shopping for a new sight what would the terminology be for this type of sight? And I'm thinking this will definitely be something for a shop to do. Thanks for any help/opinions, Clint [/QUOTE]
