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 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);
• Davidson’s Exclusive 1873s (sometimes also
marked “Pietta 1873 Gunfighter”, “Pietta

• Taylor’s & Co. TC9 revolvers with the Checkered
Black Plastic grips. This revolver

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.)

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 two-digit code
found in the small rectangular box 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,
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.

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
Handcrafted on an individual Custom basis out
of Magna-Tusk™, our solid, dense proprietary substrate which is formulated out
of natural materials for an authentic look and feel, and which yields a finished
product which is the ultimate rendition of the classic stag grips of the golden
era of Westerns. Better materials and our proprietary
pigmenting process yields a finished product better than the originals. These grips are milled from a solid slab and
are not cast. This avoids the
inclusions, air pockets, and most importantly the cheap "cast
plastic" look found in the urethane and other imitation materials commonly
available. Like natural grips, with use
and handling over time they will form an authentic patina and will only improve
with age. They look better, age better, and
perform better. And perhaps best of all,
these grips are made entirely in the U.S.A.!
Gun prop and
holster not included -- only the grips are for sale. Please note that the grips
shown are a stock photo used for illustration purposes only. Your grips will be individually hand cut and
appear similar to these.
The
"B-Western":
These
"B-Western" Style Custom grips are hand-carved one-at-a-time in
recognition of one of America's most outstanding and lasting cultural
achievements of the 20th century -- the "B-Western." Styled after the
grips seen on the revolvers of classic Hollywood Westerns of the 1930's to the
1960's (the "golden era of Hollywood Westerns"), these grips were
featured in numerous Western productions both on Television and on the Silver
Screen. Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Rawhide, The Virginian, and many others
too numerous to mention, all took America back to a simpler time and place.
Times have changed, but the lessons and values of that unforgettable period
still have a place in the hearts of millions of Americans and many other
Western fans throughout the world who appreciate the enduring contribution to
our culture and society made by the unique and colorful characters of the Old
West.

Arizona Custom Stag™ Grips:
These grips
are completely unique, custom, and one-of-a-kind. Each is hand cut, and no two
are the same. You will not find another
set like them on any gun at any Western event, guaranteed! Hand made in
painstaking, exacting detail to authentic feel and dimensions. We strive for
museum quality with every pair.
Arizona
Custom Stag™ looks, feels, and ages like the genuine
product, with durability far exceeding Ivory (Ivory is a relatively fragile
material, which often cracks under stress and age). Magna-Tusk™, our Premier Grade product used
in these grips, is filled with natural materials, and works and polishes as
well as looks like the real thing. It takes carving with superior detail and
definition, and accurately captures that authentic, weathered, deep, dark
chocolate brown/black color in the bark pattern sought after by stag
collectors. With age, it develops a soft, mellow patina which makes it
indistinguishable from the more expensive and fragile product.
These grips
are used in professional applications where only the best will do. We have supplied these grips to Hollywood and
other locations that demand only the best in durability, design, and
authenticity. We cut no corners, and
make every grip with the intention of it being a grip which will last a
lifetime. A fine revolver deserves a
fine grip. If you have been looking for
the ultimate B-Western grip, you won't be disappointed!!
The durability
and excellent aging characteristics of these grips are enhanced by our
exclusive and permanent bonded pigment application process which, once cured,
won't chip, crack, or peel like superficially applied paint products found on
less expensive grips. Accept no
substitutes. Arizona
Custom Stag™ adds
a touch of class and realism which is completely lost by using lesser quality
"cast plastic" imitations available elsewhere.
Grip screws
included with all grips. As with all
Single Action grips, minor fitting may be, but is not usually, required due to
small variations in grip frames. Full
instructions included with all grips.
The
distinctive qualities and authentic presentation of Arizona
Custom Stag™ offers an authentic look, heft and feel which
invoke the aura and spirit of the Old West.
Guaranteed to please even the most discriminating collector and Western
memorabilia aficionado. Full money back, less shipping, if not fully satisfied!
If returning, please note that the product must be returned in original,
unaltered condition.
Remember, above all:
Ride Hard, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth! Happy Trails!!
