two-PIECE
(with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

THIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR
TWO-PIECE (SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS.  SEE BELOW.

********

ONE-PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS:

A Choice for Every
User! Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw and screwhole, allowing
easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver.  One-piece style grips do not use a screw but
instead use an internal spacer.  Both
styles are traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on
early Colts, so it is a matter of personal preference.  Both styles of our grips will interchange
and work on either style of grip frame. 
See below.

One-Piece style grips (i.e., grips
which do not have a visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a user
installed spacer (included with the grips) between the grip panels, as seen on
many of the early Colts.  The spacer is
sent loose to ensure optimum fit with your revolver, with simple, quick
installation which takes one minute or so per grip (fully illustrated instructions
included).  This results in a rock-tight
fit, without the need of a screw.  Preferred
by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look. One-Piece style
grips are removed 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 and screwhole) offer the superior
convenience of quick grip removal.  They include
a free Conversion kit, allowing
their use on revolvers that are currently using one-piece style grips that do
not have a grip pin.  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
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 collectors.

Fully illustrated, detailed instructions
are included with each set of grips.  12062200

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

BRASS GRIP FRAMES
-- IMPORTANT!

*PLEASE NOTE: if you have a BRASS
gripframe (such as 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 send us an immediate followup email after your
purchase informing us that 1) your revolver has a brass gripframe, and 2) please
send us the two-letter or two-number code found in the small square box stamped
underneath or on the side of the receiver. 
This is shown in the second photo as an example.  We will need this code to make sure you get
the correct grips. 

What these WILL NOT FIT: 

1.  Please note that these grips are made to fit ONLY the Pietta Model 1873 style
Single Action revolvers, with the typical SAA “plowhandle” shaped gripframe,
and will NOT fit any revolvers from other makers (such as Uberti, Armi San
Marco, Colt, Ruger, etc.).  These grips will
also NOT fit the Bisley, the Birdshead, the Thunderer, Thunderball, or the
Lightning style revolvers, nor any of the Remington style revolvers such as the
1858, 1875, or 1890, from ANY maker, all
of which use a completely different shaped gripframe. 

2.  In addition, these WILL NOT FIT grip frames with the taller 1860 Army style
gripframe, which are around 3-1/2” tall. 
To make sure you are ordering the correct grips, please check your
grip frame measurement prior to ordering. 
Your grips or grip frame should measure
somewhere between 3-1/16 – 3-1/8”
tall, depending on how you hold your ruler, tape, or caliper.  The important thing is to make sure they are
NOT around 3-1/2” tall.  EMF’s Alchimista, Cimarron’s Bad Boy, or
Cimarron’s El Malo 2, for example,
have the taller 1860 Army style (3-1/2” tall) grip frame.   If you have one of these, our Pietta 1860
Army Cap & Ball style  grips are
properly milled for these.  Please see
our store under the proper category, or email us if you cannot find what you
need.

Please contact us
if you cannot find what you need, or if you have any questions.  We are always happy to help.

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

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 our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade” Ivory
Grips:

Hand cut in the famous
John Wayne Fingergroove style featured in many of his most famous Westerns,
such as True Grit, The War
Wagon, The Cowboys, and Rooster Cogburn.  These grips
are made out of our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ Ivory, then aged to perfection -- the
highest quality grips of their type ever available.   An
exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips. 

Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom
Grips, are manufactured out of our super high-grade, ultra-high density
material developed exclusively for our premium grip
production.  Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found
on 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 completely 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 and synthetic compounds to produce 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 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:

Unlike the lightweight
artificial yellow plastic materials sometimes offered for sale, Magna-Tusk aged
grips start out as a solid block of white virgin Magna-Tusk
Ivory.  Grip blanks are then milled from this premium material,
incorporating both CNC techniques for blanking and being finished and polished
with the same process used in manufacturing the originals.  They are
then carefully aged with our exclusive aging process, incorporating
concentrated UV light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), in a
hermetically sealed environment. 

Although this process is
a much slower process than artificial coloring methods, the result speaks for
itself.  Our process produces an authentic appearance and genuine
patina which extends into the surface, just like real ivory or
stag.  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.  Accept no substitutes.  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 custom-stocked revolvers to the range or
club, where the quality difference is immediately seen and appreciated by fellow
shooters.

Magna-Tusk grips have
all the authenticity of the originals, with several improvements over original
materials including increased durability, and are made to last a
lifetime.  They feature subtle but authentic color mottling, grain
variegation, and other authentic minute details found on original old Ivory and
aged Stag, as seen on many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and
lawmen of the Old West.  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!
