A Sad Colt Story
I've got Dad's Super .38 that he bought in 1957. He didn't shoot it much and neither have I; it still looks pretty new. Today, I thought I'd shoot it a few times. At the second shot, the left grip panel fractured at the bottom screw and a piece dropped on the ground. I fired two more shots (all I had put in the magazine). I thumbed the slide stop and when it closed, the right grip broke in the same place! So there goes both the original grips.

Since value is already ruined,,,
If this is a clean break, hold the pieces together with light finger pressure back side up. Make sure there is no angle to the pieces and lay a thin bead of Hot Stuff along the break line.

While you'fe at it check the other screw holes for hairline cracks and give those a bead of HS also.0
