two-PIECE
(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 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.

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 exclusively 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.
