Abstract
A bushing for securing a grip to a firearm that includes a housing made from a resilient material and an insert made from a material having a hardness greater than the resilient material of the housing. The housing has a top end, a bottom end, a housing bore extending from the top end to the bottom end, and a contact surface that is configured to engage an internal surface of a receiver of the firearm. The insert is sized and shaped to be received within the housing bore and includes an insert bore configured for engagement with a fastener. The housing is configured to undergo elastic deformation when compressed between the insert and the internal surface of the receiver as the fastener is tightened to draw the insert toward the internal surface of the receiver.
