Use a Hot-Glue gun and run a bead where required (on the frame, not the grips), just before it cools and sets up put the grip on. It will fill any voids holding the grips in place, and it can be easily removed if need be.

I've used it on the wood grips of a few original collector grade Lugers. It's always worked for me, without any problems.

That's a neat idea! I have used J-B Weld wood epoxy in a similar fashion, I just oil the frame lightly and press the grip in place. Hot glue sounds quicker though.

Excellent, a quick and easy fix that should be quite effective!
