two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

THIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR TWO-PIECE (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 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.
