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.

these grips WILL NOT FIT the TC9 with
the Checkered Walnut grips, which is a taller (1860 Army sized) gripframe,

our store and look for our Pietta 1860 grips if you have one of these.

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.

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.

About Our Aging Process:
We
go to great efforts to ensure that our Aged Ivory or Stag not only looks similar to, but in fact looks identical to the real thing. Our Magna-Tusk blanks will produce an aged
Ivory grip unlike any other material made today. Our aged grips feature an
authentic aged patina, just like the originals, with a process incorporating
concentrated U.V. light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), along
with a developer/control agent that is put on the grips to carefully control
U.V. absorption, in a sealed, high-oxygen environment to accelerate the natural
aging process.
Through
this aging process, these grips become beautifully mottled, variegated, and weathered
just like old, antique Ivory, and
incorporate other authentic details found on original old Ivory as seen on many
of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. As with real aged Ivory, Magna-Tusk develops
a variegated patina due to its authentic grain structure, and natural aging
produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina which extends into and
below the surface. Not only does this give it the appearance of
authenticity and depth, but this surface will not chip, crack, or peel like a
superficially applied coating. With Magna-Tusk aged
grips, most experts cannot tell them apart from a decades-old or even a
centuries-old original. While the
quality difference is somewhat noticeable in the photos, the difference is even
more apparent when seen and handled in person.
Many of our repeat sales are made by the very customers we sell to, who
take their grips to the range, where our grips are immediately seen and noticed
by others. If you are interested in
ordering grips for a Brace of pistols, please order both sets together, and we
will ensure a better matchup when selecting pairs.
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!
