These grips WILL FIT the Uberti 1862 Pocket Police; 1862 Pocket Navy; 1849 Pocket, 1849 Wells Fargo Pocket; and 1848 Baby Dragoon Models.

These revolvers are commonly marketed in the United States through Navy Arms, Cimarron, Taylors, Stoeger, etc.  If it is made by Uberti, these are the proper grips.

**IMPORTANT**:  Uberti has produced these popular Pocket models for a number of years and has used numerous variations of gripframes, each of which is a different profile (they appear similar but will not interchange). 

To ensure we get you the correct grip, please send us the following information (via email) at the time of your purchase:

1) The type of revolver(s) you have: (Pocket Police, Baby Dragoon, 1849 Pocket, etc.);

2) your date code(s) (please see the 2^nd picture in this listing for what to look for); and

3) if possible, a clear picture of each side of your gripframe with the grips removed (so we can identify sprue markings, etc.)

two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLE grips

THIS LISTING IS FOR OUR TWO-PIECE (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.

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.

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 Magna-Tusk™, our premium high-grade, ultra-high density ivory material designed specifically to improve on the inherent fragility and weakness of the cheaper Bonded Ivory, which is used on just about all factory and regular aftermarket ivory grips made today.  Standard Bonded Ivory is a brittle material, not well suited for grips, and will 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 such as urethane, but are as heavy and dense as real ivory, and just like the originals, milled out of a solid block, one at a time.  And even better than real Ivory, 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.
