oNE-PIECE
(nO SCREWHOLE) STYLE grips
THIS LISTING IS FOR OUR
ONE-PIECE (NO SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS
********
ONE-PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS EXPLAINED:
Note: One-Piece style grips do not have a visible
screw but instead use an internal spacer to mount the grips. Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible
screw, allowing easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your
revolver. We manufacture both types. Both styles of our grips will interchange
and work on either style of grip frame, no matter how your revolver is
currently set up. 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.
One-Piece
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. To ensure optimum fit and best performance, 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. This results in a rock-tight fit, without the
need of a screw. One-Piece grips are preferred
by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look, and are seen on
many early Colts. Once mounted, they are fully removable by removing the three
backstrap screws, and will not alter your revolver in any way. Reinstallation is in reverse order.
Alternatively, our Two-Piece style
grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw) offer the superior convenience of
quick grip removal using only the screw (also included with the grips). Our Two-Piece style grips also include our
proprietary Conversion Kit, 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 one-piece
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. This
requires no modification to your revolver.
Two-piece grips give you the advantage of easier access to your revolver
for cleaning and maintenance, while preserving the integrity of your revolver
in original factory condition. Two-Piece style grips were also used
on many of the early Colts, and are a traditional and iconic historical design,
offering a distinctive look and convenience preferred by many shooters and collectors.
Fully
illustrated, easy-to-follow mounting instructions are included with every order.

WHAT THESE WILL FIT:
(Please read this
through in its entirety)!
These grips WILL FIT
the UBERTI / CIMARRON LIGHTNING Single Action
revolvers. These revolvers are made by Uberti and imported by
Cimarron.
The Uberti Lightning is a Single Action revolver based
on the Colt M1877 Double Action Revolver, which is noted for
being the first successful US-produced double action revolver ever made. The Colt model 1877 was designed by William
Mason, the inventor of the legendary Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army.
Using the model 1877 as inspiration, Uberti has added
dependability and longevity to the design by incorporating Single Action
lockwork, which has a tendency of being more robust and reliable than the
original, and which many shooters prefer. In addition, slightly smaller grips and a slightly
more diminuative size combine to give the Uberti Lightning outstanding
carriability, concealability, and fast handling. It is used as the “backup gun” of choice by
many Cowboy Action Shooters today.
Please note that this auction is for Uberti Lightning revolvers ONLY,
which have the humped curve on the backstrap, and will NOT fit the somewhat
similar Uberti Birdshead style, which has a smooth backstrap. Also,
these will NOT fit the Thunderer and similar sized revolvers, which use a
larger grip. Please take a look at the pictures carefully to note
the difference. If you have a Birdshead style grip, or a Thunderer,
please visit our store or check our other auctions to find the correct grip, or
email us if you need help. Or, visit our Store and select “Uberti
Lightning” to see available grips.
Also please also note that these will NOT fit the Pietta Thunderball,
or any other make or model of revolver.
These will ONLY fit the Lightning.
Feel free to email if you are unsure of what you have, or have any
other questions. We will be happy to
help.

Arizona Custom Grips
About our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade” Ivory Grips:
Magna-Tusk™ Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona
Custom Grips, are manufactured out of a super high-grade, ultra-high
density Ivory material developed exclusively for our premium grip
production. Vastly superior to standard
bonded ivory found on factory and other aftermarket Ivory grips, Magna-Tusk™ is
capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest
alternative ivory material available today, while still retaining the pristine
look of real ivory. It is completely
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, 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 and synthetic compounds to produce outstanding
aesthetic properties and mechanical performance. When aged with our exclusive 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, imitation stag, etc.,
found on many historic grips.
Grip screw included
with all grips.
