 What these will fit:

This auction is for a set of Genuine Magna-Tusk™ grips for the Herter’s  Powermag revolvers, chambered in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .401 Herter’s Powermag. 

A Brief History of the Herter’s Powermag revolver: The Herter’s company was founded well over a century ago in 1893 by George Herter as a dry goods store, in Waseca, Minnesota.  In 1937 it was converted to a mail order company selling hunting, fishing, and trapping equipment that eventually became the largest in the world.  Herter’s manufactured most of their wide range of products in-house.  They not only sold through their catalog but also owned and operated several retail outlets, similar to what Cabela’s and Bass Pro shops are doing today (in fact, Cabela’s now owns the Herter’s product line).

To supplement their product line, Herter’s imported a robust and well-made revolver known as the Herter’s Powermag revolver, from J.P. Sauer & Sohn, a well-known West German firearms manufacturer, who was also maker of the Hawes Western Marshal revolvers, among others.  These revolvers were solidly constructed, well machined, with caseheads recessed in the chambers, and feature well-made sights.   

These revolvers were available in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and a caliber exclusive to the Herter’s, the .401 Herter’s Powermag.  To allow better handling of the powerful recoil these revolvers were capable of generating, they sported an oversized grip.  This grip has been referred to as a “kind of Colt plowhandle meets Bisley on steroids.”  Some shooters are said to prefer this gripframe even more than the Ruger Bisley frame for recoil management. 

These revolvers are no longer made and are getting more difficult to source, and are starting to enjoy collector interest among some firearms afficionados.

What these will NOT fit: 

Please note that these grips are made to fit ONLY the Herter’s Powermag Single Action revolvers, chambered in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and/or .401 Herter’s Powermag. 

These will NOT fit any revolvers from other makers (such as Uberti, Pietta, Armi San Marco, Colt, Ruger, etc.).

Arizona Custom Grips

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

Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our super high-grade, ultra-high density material developed exclusively for our premium grip production.  Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found on 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 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 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 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, artistic relief work, etc., found on many historic grips. 

Please note: We make every effort to ensure the best fit possible.  Besides using exacting standards and state-of-the art-equipment in our manufacturing operations, every set of grips is hand checked on our test frame for proper fit prior to leaving our factory.  This ensures the best fit in the industry.  Occasionally, however, your grip pin may have been installed slightly out of alignment or position, and you may find it necessary to slightly open up the grip pin holes on the back of the grips to get the grips to seat fully.  Full, easy to follow instructions are provided with every set of grips.

Grip screw included with all grips.
