two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

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

********

A Choice for Every User! Two-Piece grips, in addition to a visible screw, have a grip pin installed in the grip frame to help hold them in place.  One-Piece grips (grips with no visible screw) use a spacer between the panels, with no screw and no grip pin.  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.  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.  Our One-Piece style grips will work on either style gripframe (either One-Piece or Two-Piece style grip frames).  Fully illustrated instructions included for quick and easy installation.

Alternatively, our Two-Piece style grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw) offer the superior convenience of quick grip removal.  Unlike with One-Piece grips, the backstrap need not be removed to remove the grips for cleaning and maintenance of the revolver.  Our Two-Piece grips include a free Conversion kit (allowing their use on One-Piece style frames) which replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and allows the grips to lock up tight, 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.  07082200

WHAT THESE WILL FIT:

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, 

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

* Taylor’s & Co. Flattop Birdshead,

* EMF Pony Express or Express Agent, 

* EMF Alchimista Jr.,

* 1851 Yank Snubnose (sold by Taylor’s, Dixie, etc.), 

* Pietta 1860 Army Snubnose (sold by Taylor’s, EMF, etc.)

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, 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.  

Grip screw included with all grips.
