    Im Really Really Dumb Help Me Out Please!!!

    Hey so i have a tac one and i tightened a screw too far and broke the complete head off of it and i have no way of getting it out it is flush with the bottom of the grip frame any thoughts??? I am open to any suggestion at this point. Im gonna run it by my local hardware store who has helped me out in the past so im gonna hope they have some cool tool that will just take it out for me or maybe you guys know of one???

    Thanks,
    Trigger

    Maybe we need a pic, but it sounds easy. Take the other frame screw out and separate the parts. The piece sticking out should be available for a pair of vise-grips or one of those magic screw remover nuts.

      I've done the same thing before. I used an Easy Out bit to remove mine. Worked like a charm.

        I would go with that also.

              K thanks all but i ended taking it to ACE (the helpful place) and the guy said that he would drill it out for me and then if he had to he would re tap the threads so i solved my problem but it probably would not be a bad idea to buy an easy out kit too.

                Cool store you have. Their franchise seems to be fairly loose and their stock and service vary from store to store. My local ACE has lots of marker sized screws and parts and lots of people that know where things are. It took me a while to realize it was the same "ACE" as the others I had been to.
