oNE-PIECE
(nO SCREWHOLE) STYLE

THIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR
ONE-PIECE (NO SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS
SEE BELOW.

********

Note: Two-Piece grips,
in addition to a visible screw, have a grip pin installed in the frame to help
hold them in place.  One-Piece grips
(grips with no visible screw) use a spacer between the panels, with no screw
and no grip pin.  BOTH styles of
our grips will interchange and work on either style of grip frame.  See below.

One-Piece style grips (i.e., grips
which do not have a visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a user
installed spacer between the grip panels, as seen on many of the early
Colts.  This results in a rock-tight fit,
without the need of a screw.  Preferred
by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look, One-Piece style
grips are removed by removing the three backstrap screws, and pulling the grip
and backstrap backwards.  Reinstallation
is in reverse order.  Our One-Piece style
grips will work on either style gripframe (either One-Piece or Two-Piece style
grip frames).  Fully illustrated
instructions included for quick and easy installation.

Alternatively, our Two-Piece style
grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw) offer the superior convenience of
quick grip removal.  Unlike with
One-Piece grips, the backstrap need not be removed to remove the grips for
cleaning and maintenance of the revolver. 
Our Two-Piece grips include a free C
onversion kit (allowing their use on One-Piece style frames) which
replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and allows
the grips to lock up tight, allowing no movement. 
This
requires no modification to your revolver and gives you the advantage of the
ease of maintenance of Two-Piece grips, 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
collectors.

Fully illustrated, detailed instructions
are included with each set of grips.

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
details if you are interested in custom fitting.

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 from the beginning 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.
