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 have a visible screw but instead use an internal spacer to mount the grips.  Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw, 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 with no visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a spacer (included with the grips) which is user mounted to the inside of the grip panels to hold them in place instead of a using a screw.  To ensure optimum fit and best performance, the spacer is sent unmounted since all gripframes vary slightly in inside dimensions.  Installation is simple and generally takes only a few minutes.  Illustrated instructions included with each order.  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, and are seen on many early Colts. Once mounted, they are fully removable by removing the three backstrap screws, and will not alter your revolver in any way.  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 using only the screw (also included with the grips).  Our Two-Piece style grips also include our proprietary Conversion Kit, allowing their use on revolvers that do not have a grip pin in the frame (as is the case with most Italian-made revolvers and others that currently have a one-piece style grip).  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.  Two-piece grips give you the advantage of easier access to your revolver for cleaning and maintenance, 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 shooters and collectors.

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

WHAT THESE WILL FIT

(Please read this entire section carefully):

These WILL FIT any of the PIETTA Single Action Army style revolvers, with the standard sized SAA “plowhandle” grip frame, which measures around 3-1/8” tall.  [Please see the notes below regarding brass gripframes if that is what you have, and also the non-standard, taller sized 1860 Army sized gripframes].

This includes any of the following (all of which are made by Pietta and imported by Cimarron, E.M.F., Taylor’s & Co., etc.):

•  Cimarron Frontier or Stainless Frontier, Pistolero, or El Malo (NOT the El Malo 2);

•  E.M.F. Hartford, Dakota II, or Dakota III;

•  Taylor’s & Co. TC9 revolvers with the Checkered Black Plastic grips.  This revolver uses the standard (Navy sized) gripframe, measuring around 3-1/8” tall or a little under.  >> Please note that these grips WILL NOT FIT the TC9 with the Checkered Walnut grips, which is a taller (1860 Army sized) gripframe, measuring around 3-1/2” tall.  Please see our store and look for our Pietta 1860 grips if you have one of these.

•  Traditions Single Action Frontier or Rawhide revolvers.  (Note: if your Rawhide revolver is the .22 cal. Rawhide Ranchhand, please send us an immediate followup email after your order and let us know.  These require extra milling cutouts to mount properly to your frame.)

•  Century Arms 1873 Millenium

Note: If you do not see your pistol listed, please drop us an email with your model name and we will verify your revolver.

IMPORTANT!! (Please read the following in its entirety to ensure that you get the correct grips):

1) Please note that Pietta has used multiple different grip frame variations over the years.  To ensure that we send the correct grips, when ordering please attach a message to your order stating the date code found on your revolver (as shown in the 2nd picture in the listing).  If you have a newer revolver and cannot find the code, please send the first three digits of your serial number so we can identify your particular revolver.  If we do not hear back from you, we will send the most common version of grips to ensure we get these out on time.

2) Also, if you have a BRASS gripframe (such as is sometimes found on the Cimarron “Pistolero”, Davidson’s Exclusive 1873s, EMF’s GWII “Gunfighter”, or Taylor’s “1873 Single Action Stag” revolvers, for example), please attach a note to your order informing us.

 3) Finally, please note that these WILL NOT fit Pietta gripframes that are around 3-1/2” tall (such as EMF’s Alchimista, Taylor’s 1873 Single Action Army Grip, or Cimarron’s Bad Boy or El Malo 2).  Your grips should measure around 3-1/16” to 3-1/8” tall, depending on how you hold your ruler or caliper.  Please check this carefully before ordering.  If your grips measure 3-1/2”, our Pietta 1860 Army grips are milled to fit these, which you can find in our store.  Please feel free to contact us if you cannot locate what you need.

What these WILL NOT FIT: 

These WILL NOT FIT any revolvers from other makers (such as Uberti, Armi San Marco, Colt, Ruger, etc.).  Also, these will NOT fit revolvers using a gripframe that is not the standard “plowhandle” shape, such as the Bisley, the Birdshead, the Thunderer, Thunderball, or the Lightning style gripframes, nor any of the Remington style revolvers such as the 1858, 1875, or 1890.  Please take a careful look at the shape of your gripframe.  These are for the “plowhandle” style revolvers only.

[Rev 25050801]

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.

Custom Fitted Grips:

(note: change from “Uberti” to Pietta before using)

Brand New, CUSTOM FIT grips for the UBERTI 1873 Single Action Army style revolver. 

PLEASE READ THE NEXT FEW PARAGRAPHS BELOW IN THEIR ENTIRETY PRIOR TO PURCHASING!

This auction is for a set of Genuine Aged Magna-Tusk ™ Ivory grips for ANY of the current or former Uberti made Colt SAA style revolvers.  This includes any of the 1873 Single Action Cattleman series, the Stallion, the Buntline, any of the El Patron series, the Cattleman .22, the Horseman, the 1873 Cattleman II, SASS Pro, CMS Pro, Evil Roy, or any of the other Uberti “plowhandle” style pistols, including anything sold by Cimarron, Taylors, Navy Arms, EMF, Stoeger, or any of the other importers.  The purchase price includes full custom fitting in our shop.  After custom fitting, the grips will be aged with our exclusive aging process, to impart the authentic “Old West” Ivory patina that Arizona Custom Grips has become famous for.  We have fully developed this process and have a vast amount of experience in doing it right. 

To properly do the custom fitting, we will need for you to send in your frontstrap/triggerguard, and your backstrap ONLY.  We need only these two pieces and do not need anything else (including the screws), and ask that you keep all other parts in a safe place until your completed grips and gripframe parts are returned to you.  Upon purchase of the grips, you will receive instructions on where to send the parts.  Turnaround time is expected to run around 1 to 2 weeks from receipt of the parts, depending on our production schedule.  We keep a full stock of Uberti grip blanks on hand, in about 80% finished condition, with only final fitting needed, for the quickest turnaround possible.  Please keep in mind that the aging process involves curing time to do it right, which cannot be rushed, so please plan accordingly.

Note that this auction is offered for Single Action Army style revolvers only, and is not intended for other designs, such as the 1858 or 1875 Remington, etc.  However, if you have a non-SAA style revolver, please drop us an email and tell us what you have, and we will always try to accomodate you if our schedule permits.  We also produce Bisley and Birdshead grips for the Uberti revolvers.  If you have a Pietta revolver, we can do those as well.  Feel free to contact us with your needs.

List of Uberti 1860 Army S+S style gripframes:

These grips WILL FIT the following Uberti revolvers, which have a grip approximately 3-1/2” tall and were chambered by Uberti to fire metallic cartridges:

Uberti / Cimarron 1860 Army Richards-Mason Conversion

Uberti / Cimarron 1860 Army Richards Transition Model Type II

Uberti / Cimarron 1872 Open Top Army (also known as: Colt Model 1871 Open Top, or 1871-72 Open Top)

Uberti / Taylor’s & Co. “C. Mason” 1860 Army Revolver.  (Note: these will NOT fit the 1851 Navy style revolvers, which use a grip approx. 3-1/8” tall)

Uberti / Taylor’s & Co. “Open Top” 1860 Army Revolver.  (Note: these will NOT fit the 1851 Navy style revolvers)

THESE WILL ALSO FIT other Uberti made 1860 Army style revolvers chambered by Uberti to fire metallic cartridges, with a grip height of approx. 3-1/2”, such as the Uberti .44 Magnum Callahan or El Patron Grizzly Paw.  However, please note, for these grips to fit, BOTH the backstrap AND the trigger guard must be steel.  If either of these components on your firearm are made of brass, these will not properly fit, so please contact us for the proper grips.  Also, please note that these will NOT fit the black powder percussion (cap & ball) 1860 Army models (see below).

What these will NOT fit:

Please note that these will NOT fit the black powder percussion (cap & ball) style 1860 Army revolvers.  These revolvers are made to shoot loose powder and ball, and use a different grip frame.  Please be aware that just because you may use a CONVERSION CYLINDER in an 1860 Army percussion revolver, you still have a percussion revolver, and these will NOT fit.  If you have a percussion style 1860 Army revolver, please contact us for the proper grips.

FINAL NOTE: it is important to double check your grip height before ordering, because some of the models listed above also ship with an 1851 Navy sized grip (at approx. 3-1/8”), which are shorter than the 1860 Army (at approx. 3-1/2”).  Please contact us if you cannot locate the correct grips for your revolver.

Also please note that these grips are made only for Uberti revolvers and WILL NOT FIT revolvers made by Pietta, Armi San Marcos, or any other makers.  Please drop us an email if you have one of these to check availability.
