“SCREWHOLE & SCREW”STYLE grips

THIS LISTING IS FOR OUR “SCREWHOLE & SCREW” STYLE GRIPS

********

“NO SCREWHOLE” VS. “SCREWHOLE & SCREW” GRIP DIFFERENCES EXPLAINED:

Note: “SCREWHOLE & SCREW” style grips incorporate a visible screw, allowing easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver.  “NO SCREWHOLE” style grips do not have a visible screw but instead use an internal spacer to mount the grips.  We manufacture both types.  Both styles of our grips will interchange and work on your existing grip frame, no matter how your revolver is currently set up (for example, the “SCREWHOLE” style will work on your gripframe even if it came with “NO SCREWHOLE” style grips on it.  See below for more details. 

Both styles are traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on early Colts, so whichever style you choose is really a matter of personal preference.

Our “SCREWHOLE & SCREW” style grips (i.e., grips with a visible screwhole and screw) is a traditional design and offers the superior convenience of quick grip removal using only a single screw (included with the grips).  If appropriate to your particular revolver, these grips will include our proprietary Conversion Kit at no extra cost, allowing their use on revolvers that do not have a grip pin in the frame (as is the case with most Italian-made revolvers and others that currently have a “NO SCREWHOLE” style grip).  The Conversion Kit replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and allows the grips to lock up tight on the frame, allowing no movement, and requiring no modification to the revolver itself.  “Screwhole” style grips give you the advantage of easier removal for cleaning and maintenance, while preserving the integrity of your revolver in original factory condition.  This style was used on the majority of the early Colts, and is a traditional and iconic historical design, offering a distinctive look and convenience preferred by many shooters and collectors. 

“NO SCREWHOLE” style grips (i.e., grips with no visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a spacer (included with the grips) which is user mounted to the inside of the grip panels to hold them in place instead of a using a screw.  This design results in a rock-tight fit, without the need of a visible screw.  Note: To ensure optimum fit and best performance with this style grip, the spacer is sent unmounted since all gripframes vary slightly in inside dimensions.  Installation is simple and generally takes only a few minutes.  Illustrated instructions included with each order.  “NO SCREWHOLE” style grips are preferred by some collectors for their clean lines, and are also seen on many early Colts.  Once mounted, they are fully removable by removing the three backstrap screws and pulling off the backstrap, as with any other traditional similar style grip. 

Helpful tip: Unless you are looking for the particular look of a “No Screwhole” grip, the “SCREWHOLE & SCREW” style grips are usually preferred by most users because they are quicker and easier to remove for cleaning and maintaining your revolver.  Both styles of grips are historically correct.

Fully illustrated, easy-to-follow mounting instructions are included with every order.

Arizona Custom Grips

About Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag Grips:

 Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, a product of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our high-grade, high density ivory material designed from the beginning as a premium, high-strength grip material.  Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found on most factory and other aftermarket grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative grip material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory or stag.  It is rock-solid, stable, and water, chemical, and oil resistant.  It is flame and heat resistant, and is entirely void-free, with over 10x the strength, durability, and impact resistance of alternative materials.  Unlike with real ivory or stag, there is no routine care and maintenance involved, with no danger of it drying out and cracking if not maintained properly or if left in the heat.  It is filled with premium natural compounds to produce outstanding aesthetic properties and mechanical performance.  When aged with our natural aging process, it takes on the equivalent of a 100-year-old patina, with subtle grain details which many experts cannot tell apart from the real thing.  In addition, the material has a fine grain structure, which holds intricate detail for carvings, artistic relief work, etc., found on many historic grips.
