It's really hard to see in there, but I'm beginning to wonder about that myself.
I'm going to 'sacrifice' a screwdriver and make a bend in it to see if I can apply outward pressure from inside the frame as I use the tool on the top side to try to unscrew it.
It's a steel frame, not alloy. I wouldn't have messed with it at all if it was alloy... Too risky.
I've swapped out plenty of these before, this is the first time I've ever had this issue.
Still trying to figure out why anybody would want to shoot .38 Stoopid from a single action...
I can understand .38/357/9mm but .38 Super??? Let's pick another cartridge that's more expensive than the others...
Maybe 9x23???

I have a V10 Ultra Compact that I'm attempting to switch out the grip screw bushings on so I can use thin grips.
The bottom 2 came out with no issues, but the top 2 just spin and spin. I've tried using the Challis 1911 Bushing Extractor, heating the old bushings... No dice. They just spin.
Any...
I owned one of the .40 S&W versions briefly. VERY briefly. Didn't like it at all, the balance was all wrong and the magazines were flat out stupid with these goofy springs on the bottom that were supposed to assist in their ejection... That's one I do NOT miss.
Very attractive, but I'm still waiting for one with either a stainless or industrial hard chromed lower and an extended beaver-tail... and for God's sake no ugly looking picatinny rail on the frame 🤮...
Yes, I'm an 80's guy... :cool:
