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 Conversion 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.  22010345

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.
