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.

*
Uberti / Cimarron 1860 Army Richards-Mason Conversion
*
Uberti / Cimarron 1872 Open Top Army, also known as: Colt
Model 1871 Open Top, or 1871-72 Open Top. (Note: these will NOT fit the Open Top “Navy” sized revolvers, which use a
grip approx. 3-1/8” tall. Your grips
should be around 3-3/8” tall for these to fit.)
*
Uberti / Taylor’s & Co. “C. Mason” 1860 Army Revolver. (Note:
these will NOT fit the 1851
Navy style revolvers, which use a grip approx. 3-1/8” tall)
*
Uberti / Taylor’s & Co. “Open Top” 1860 Army Revolver. (Again, these will NOT fit the 3-1/8” tall 1851 Navy style revolvers)
* THESE WILL ALSO FIT other
Uberti made revolvers chambered by Uberti to fire metallic cartridges, based on
the “Army” sized gripframe with a grip height of approx. 3-3/8”; such as the Taylor’s & Co. (Uberti) Gunfighter, and Gunfighter Defender; Taylor’s (Uberti) Cattleman .44 Mag.; Taylor’s Hickock Conversion; the
Uberti .44 Magnum Callahan; the Uberti 1873 Cattleman Ursus 10mm; the Cimarron (Uberti) Bad Boy; or the Uberti

UBERTI GRIPFRAME
VARIATIONS -- IMPORTANT!
→ PLEASE
NOTE!! Over the years Uberti has used multiple
variations of gripframes on their SAA style revolvers, and each uses a slightly
different grip. We carry grips for each
of these different profiles. In order
for us to ensure that you get the proper grips, please add a note to your order with the following date-code information:
IF your revolver has a two-digit date code inside
a small rectangular box, or circle, as shown in the second picture in this
listing, OR if your revolver alternatively is marked with Roman numerals (i.e.,
“XXX” or “XXIV”), please attach a note to your order with that information. Please note that some of the newer revolvers
have the actual date stamped on the frame (i.e., “2022”), so if that is the
case please send that. Also note that these
codes or dates are sometimes also stamped on the side of the mainframe (under
the cylinder), or at the base of the barrel.
Please inspect your revolver carefully under good light for this
information.
If after a careful
inspection you find that your revolver does not have the code (which some of
the newer revolvers do not), please send us the first three digits of the
serial number.
Please note that if
we do not hear from you, we will send the most common style grip profile in
order to get the grip out on time.
Note: “PN” and
“CIP” are Italian proof marks and are NOT the correct date codes.
What these will NOT fit:
Please note that these WILL NOT FIT the Uberti 1860
Army Black Powder (Percussion, or “Cap & Ball”) revolvers. These revolvers use
a different grip frame. Please be aware
that just because you may be using a CONVERSION CYLINDER in an 1860 Army
percussion revolver to fire metallic cartridges, if the revolver came from the
factory set up as a percussion gun, you still have a percussion revolver frame,
and these will NOT fit. Please contact
us for the proper grips if you have the percussion style 1860 Army.
In
addition, these WILL NOT FIT
anything with a 3-1/8” tall gripframe.
Your grip frame MUST be around
3-3/8” tall for these to fit. It is important to double check your grip
height before ordering, because some of the models listed above also ship with
an 1851 Navy sized grip (at approx. 3-1/8”), which are shorter than the 1860
Army (at approx. 3-3/8”). Please contact
us if you cannot locate the correct grips for your revolver; we are happy to
help.

Arizona Custom Grips
About our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade”
Ivory Grips:
Our Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips,
are made out of a premium high-grade, ultra-high density ivory material (Magna-Tusk™), designed from the ground
up as a premium grip material to greatly improve on the inherent fragility and
weakness of the cheaper Bonded Ivory used on just about all factory and regular
aftermarket ivory grips today. Standard
Bonded Ivory is brittle, and tends to weaken and develop stress fractures over
time with repeated use, firing, and handling.
Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact,
and is the toughest alternative Ivory grip material available today, while
still retaining the pristine look of real ivory. These grips are not
cast or made out of an inferior, lightweight material, but are heavy and dense,
carefully milled out of a solid block, one at a time. Magna-Tusk is completely rock-solid, stable,
and water, chemical, and oil resistant. It is flame and heat
resistant, will not melt like Urethane or plastic, 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 produced with 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 most 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 not only looks similar to real aged ivory, 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. Through our slow 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, no two are exactly the same. Our process produces an authentic appearance
and genuine patina which extends deep into 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 or
club, where our grips are immediately seen and noticed by others. We are also capable of producing them with a
“clean” aged look if required (i.e., without the mottling, etc.), which is a
simpler process, although most would agree that they do not look quite as
authentic as our regular aged grips. If
you are interested in ordering grips for a Brace of pistols, please order both
sets together, so we can ensure a good matchup.
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!
