oNE-PIECE
(nO SCREWHOLE) STYLE grips



THIS LISTING IS FOR OUR
ONE-PIECE (NO 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 C
onversion 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 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. 






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!
