Clyde gifted me a pair of buffalo horn grips for it but I cannot seem to be able to remove the grip screws, they're effin tight! Sorry Clyde I will get them on and take some pictures I promise. Anyways pictures below.

Hello, you may be thinking about Z-ane or Olympus, the forum de-facto grip makers.

I also noticed my custom buffalo horn grips don't have the semi-circular cut for the mainspring housing pin. on the lower back corner, and I'm wondering if this could be a problem.

But to your point, you're right. I also noticed my custom buffalo horn grips don't have the semi-circular cut for the mainspring housing pin. on the lower back corner, and I'm wondering if this could be a problem.

Personally, none of my grips have the cutout. I don't like the look.
