    Special tap used to cut .255-60 threads in a 1911 frame for Repair (oversize) Bushings. Custom ground by Challis Grips, this tap will ream the hole to the proper size and then cut the threads; pre-drilling is not required. The closeup photo shows the custom reamer grind. To our knowledge no other oversize bushing tap is ground this way, Others require pre-drilling to .234" before the hole can be tapped.

    Consider buying our Frame Repair Tap Guide if you have concern about holding the tap perpendicular to the frame.

    This tap will ream the hole to .234" and then begin cutting the required .255-60 threads. We suggest the use of our Frame Repair Tap Guide when using the tap.

    Used to repair stripped grip bushing. Repaired at kitchen table using a tap handle from my standard tap set. Tap and oversized bushing worked exactly as advertised. I am very pleased with this grip system.

    I normally dont leave reviews but was so blown away with the quality of the Challis products I had to say something. My son bought a brand new Kimber custom LW pistol on Tuesday and when we were disassembling it we found that 2 of the grip bushings were stripped from the factory. Not wanting to deal with Kimber customer service and the wait times that go with it. I went ahead and ordered a set of oversized bushings, tap, and tap guide from Challis. Ordered on Wed and at my door Sat. The Challis tap did an amazing job of cutting and tapping some of the most beautiful threads I've ever seen. Everything turned out perfectly. Great job Challis amazing products fast shipping. Thank you for providing quality products to make a bad situation perfect. Thank you again...Jeff

    Who would have thought something like this was even available. As a grip maker, this too is invaluable.
