(with SCREWHOLE) STYLE
One-Piece vs. Two-Piece
Grips: Many people prefer the clean lines of a grip without a
screwhole (One-Piece), while others prefer the look and convenience of a
Two-Piece grip (with a screw), which is easier to remove for cleaning or
maintenance. Both styles were originally
made by Colt in the 1800’s, and both are historically correct. Whichever style you choose really depends on
the look you are after. We manufacture
both styles.
Note: ANY of
our grips, whether ONE-PIECE OR TWO PIECE style, will interchange and
work on either style of grip frame.
THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE TWO-PIECE (SCREWHOLE) STYLE.
Note: if your revolver is currently set up for
One-Piece grips (i.e., no grip pin), we will include, free of charge upon
request, a conversion kit which allows these two-piece grips to mount onto
a one-piece style grip frame without any modification to your frame. Our
conversion kit replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger
design, and locks the grips up tight against the frame, allowing no
movement. This gives you
the advantage of the ease of maintenance of two-piece grips, while preserving
the integrity of your revolver in original factory condition. If
your revolver does NOT have a grip pin, please send us an immediate email after
the purchase requesting the conversion kit. If
your revolver already uses two-piece grips and has a grip pin, you do not need
the kit and these grips will work, AS-IS.
Grip screw, and full illustrated instructions are included with each set of grips.
Whichever style you choose, you
are guaranteed to get the best quality grips on the market, made to last a
lifetime, for your shooting pleasure and enjoyment.

What these will fit:
Brand New,
unused grips for the 1st Generation Colt Single Action Army
revolver. Please note that these grips
will NOT properly fit the Colt 2nd and 3rd Generation
models.
Also,
these will NOT fit any other makes and models of SAA style revolvers, such as
Ruger, USFA, Uberti, Pietta, or any other of the Italian made revolvers or
other “Clones.” These all have subtle
differences, and will not satisfactorily interchange. If you have one of these,
please see our store categories for the proper grips, or drop us an email and
we will help you find what you need.
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 exclusively 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.

About Our Aging Process:
We
go to great efforts to ensure that our Aged Ivory or Stag not only looks similar to, but in fact looks identical to the real thing. Our Magna-Tusk blanks will produce an aged
Ivory grip unlike any other material made today. Our aged grips feature an
authentic aged patina, just like the originals, with a process incorporating
concentrated U.V. light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), along
with a developer/control agent that is put on the grips to carefully control
U.V. absorption, in a sealed, high-oxygen environment to accelerate the natural
aging process.
Through
this aging process, these grips become beautifully mottled, variegated, and
weathered just like old, antique Ivory,
and incorporate other authentic details found on original old Ivory as seen on
many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. As with real aged Ivory, Magna-Tusk develops
a variegated patina due to its authentic grain structure, and natural aging
produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina which extends into and
below the surface. Not only does this give it the appearance of
authenticity and depth, but this surface will not chip, crack, or peel like a
superficially applied coating. With Magna-Tusk aged
grips, most experts cannot tell them apart from a decades-old or even a
centuries-old original. While the
quality difference is somewhat noticeable in the photos, the difference is even
more apparent when seen and handled in person.
Many of our repeat sales are made by the very customers we sell to, who
take their grips to the range, where our grips are immediately seen and noticed
by others. If you are interested in
ordering grips for a Brace of pistols, please order both sets together, and we
will ensure a better matchup when selecting pairs.
Dense, heavy, and solid, Magna-Tusk grips are in a class all their
own. With our exclusive aging process, these grips
are outstanding right out of the box, and will continue to improve over
time. The more these grips are handled
and used, the better they look!
