two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLE grips

THIS LISTING IS FOR OUR TWO-PIECE (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.

A Brief History of the EAA Bounty Hunter: The Bounty Hunter owes its lineage to the well-known Hawes Western Marshall revolvers, made by the J.P. Sauer & Sohn firm in Germany from the late 1960’s, into the 1970’s.  J.P. Sauer later acquired the Swiss gunmaker SIG, changing the company name to Sig Sauer.  At that time, Sauer began focusing on autoloaders and sold its revolver operation and tooling to Herman Weihrauch Waffenfabrik, also of Germany. Weihrauch added a transfer bar safety to the old design and continued production of the revolver as the Bounty Hunter.  The Bounty Hunter is currently imported by European American Arms (EAA), based in Florida.

Arizona Custom Grips

About our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade” Ivory Grips:

 Our Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are made out of a premium high-grade, ultra-high density ivory material (Magna-Tusk™), designed from the ground up as a premium grip material to greatly improve on the inherent fragility and weakness of the cheaper Bonded Ivory used on just about all factory and regular aftermarket ivory grips today.  Standard Bonded Ivory is brittle, and tends to weaken and develop stress fractures over time with repeated use, firing, and handling.  Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative Ivory grip material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory.  These grips are not cast or made out of an inferior, lightweight material, but are heavy and dense, carefully milled out of a solid block, one at a time.  Magna-Tusk is completely rock-solid, stable, and water, chemical, and oil resistant.  It is flame and heat resistant, will not melt like Urethane or plastic, 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 produced with 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 most 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 not only looks similar to real aged ivory, 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.  Through our slow 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, no two are exactly the same.  Our process produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina which extends deep into 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 or club, where our grips are immediately seen and noticed by others.  We are also capable of producing them with a “clean” aged look if required (i.e., without the mottling, etc.), which is a simpler process, although most would agree that they do not look quite as authentic as our regular aged grips.  If you are interested in ordering grips for a Brace of pistols, please order both sets together, and we will ensure a good matchup. 

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!
