I bought a set of SS grips screws off of Ebay, the are supposed to be Ed Brown, but came packaged in a plastic ziplock - with no Ed brown name on the package. Anyway, the screw heads are thick, thicker than the Taurus factory grip screws. When I install the 'Ed Brown' screws, they stick out past the the factory grips.

Where can I get SS grips screws that are like the Taurus factory grip screws?

I looked for screws like the Taurus ones and couldn't find any. I even tried a specialty store who told me they could possibly order a set for me, but it didn't sound promising. I changed out my grips on my PT1911 and the SS Ed Brown grips screws worked fine at that point.

Although, if the SS PT1911 is being manufactured now, you should be able to get SS screws from Taurus directly.

One of the problems for the grip screws with the original Taurus grips is that they are very thin grips. If you were to order screws for some of the very thin grips on the market they would probably work... are as Pierce has noted... with the normal thicker grips they should bottom out just fine.
