I won a bid on ebay, and got a pair of the diamond ones for $20 shipped. They drove me crazy trying the get the safety to not come on when I put that side on. I have a
small mill and those bits will take off very small amounts of wood.I kept focusing
on the safety and never noticed the ridge at the top needed a slot so it wouldn't
push the safety on. Well once I had them fit , they looked totally gaudy. I did buy
another set of the regular checkered ones for $23 from the same place. I first cut that edge off so it didn't push the safety on. Also the blocks they glue on to keep
them from sliding around on the gun are too thick and rub on the magazine. A
cheap harbor freight bench belt sander will take them down it a flash. Lastly when
they fit you notice they are way thicker on the edge than a stock grip. You can thin
them down with the same sander, using the round part on the belt sander. It takes
a while to do a set, but in the end you feel like a German gunsmith, working somewhere in a factory ,hand fitting grips for a living. Good luck
