A note on the
Italian-produced Revolvers:
The Italian firms,
located in Northern Italy, have been making SAA style revolvers now for well
over a half century, and have made a huge number of makes and models and grip
frame profiles with varying configurations over the years. We have an
in-depth knowledge of the differing grip configurations, have a large library
of gripframe variations from the various makers both old and new, and have vast
experience making grips for Uberti, Pietta, Armi San Marco, and the other
Italian gunmaking firms. Our experienced makers go to great lengths
to ensure an exacting fit, including utilizing modern precision CNC production
techniques, as well as incorporating old-time hand tuning and hand checking the
fit of every grip on our reference frames prior to leaving our factory.
We have a long list of many satisfied customers in the shooting industry who
have purchased grips to use in a wide variety of applications, and we can
safely and confidently guarantee proper fit and finish to your complete
satisfaction.
For an additional
charge, custom fitting is an option. Please contact us for further

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, so we can 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!
