(with SCREWHOLE) STYLE grips

THIS LISTING IS FOR OUR
TWO-PIECE (SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS

********

ONE-PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS EXPLAINED:

Note: One-Piece style grips do not use a screw
but instead use an internal spacer.  Two-Piece
style grips incorporate a visible screw and screwhole, allowing easy and quick
removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver.  We manufacture both types.  Both styles of our grips will interchange
and work on either style of grip frame, no matter how your revolver is
currently set up.  Both styles are
traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on early
Colts, so whichever style you choose is really a matter of personal
preference. 

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.  The spacer (included with your grips) is sent
unmounted to ensure the optimum fit to your particular frame.  Installation is simple and takes only a few
minutes, and is explained in the included instructions.  This results in a rock-tight fit, without the
need of a screw.  One-Piece grips are preferred
by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look. Once mounted,
they are taken on and off by removing the three backstrap screws, and pulling
the grip and backstrap backwards.  Reinstallation
is in reverse order. 

Alternatively, our Two-Piece style
grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw) offer the superior convenience of
quick grip removal.  In addition to the
screw our Two-Piece style grips include a free Conversion Kit, allowing their use on revolvers that are currently
set up for One-Piece style grips that do not have a grip pin (as is the case
with most Italian revolvers).  The
Conversion Kit replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger
design, and allows the grips to lock up tight on the frame, 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
used on many of the early Colts, and are a traditional and iconic historical
design, offering a distinctive look and convenience preferred by many shooters
and collectors.

Fully
illustrated, easy-to-follow instructions are included with every order.

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.
