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.

Brand New, unused grips for the PIETTA THUNDERBALL revolvers. 

 These will also fit the following, all of which are made by Pietta and have the “humped curve” backstrap style gripframe:

* Cimarron El Malo 2 (Note: these will NOT fit the El Malo 2’s with the “plowhandle” style gripframe), 

* Cimarron Huckleberry (and similar Engraved revolvers made by Pietta), 

* Taylor’s & Co. Flattop Birdshead,

* Taylor’s & Co. TC9 1873 Sa Flattop Birdshead,

PLEASE NOTE: This auction is for the revolvers which have the HUMPED CURVE on the backstrap, and will NOT fit the somewhat similar Pietta Birdshead style, which has a smooth curved backstrap.  Please also note that these will NOT fit standard “plowhandle” style gripframes.  Your gripframe MUST be the “humped curve” backstrap style for these to fit.  Please take a close look at the pictures and carefully note the difference.  

Also please note that these are made for the Pietta revolvers ONLY, and will NOT fit the Uberti Thunderer, Colt, or any other brand of revolver.  Pietta revolvers only.

We have a large selection of grips for these other revolvers, including both the Pietta and the Uberti Birdsheads, so please see our other listings, or drop us an email if you cannot find what you need.  We are always happy to help.

Arizona Custom Grips

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

Magna-Tusk™ Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of a super high-grade, ultra-high density Ivory material developed exclusively for our premium grip production.  Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory found on factory and other aftermarket Ivory grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative ivory material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory.  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, 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, imitation stag, etc., found on many historic grips.
