two-PIECE
(with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

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

********

Note: 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 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 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 C
onversion 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.

UBERTI FRAME
VARIATIONS -- IMPORTANT!

*PLEASE NOTE: Over the years Uberti has used multiple variations of gripframes on
their SAA style (“Colt” style) revolvers, and they are not interchangeable.  Accordingly, please send us an immediate followup
email after your purchase (or attach a note to your order) informing us of the
two-digit code found in the small rectangular box stamped underneath or on the
side of the receiver (or occasionally found under the barrel).  This is shown in the second photo as an
example.  This can be either letters or
numbers. 

Also, please send us
the first three digits of your serial number. 
If there is a letter before before your serial number (some will have it
and some won’t), please also include that.  We will need this information to make sure you
get the correct grips.  If we do not
receive this information from you, we will assume you have the most common profile
and send that out.

 

What these WILL NOT FIT

1.  Please note that these grips will NOT fit other makes of revolvers,
such as revolvers made by Pietta, Armi San Marco, Colt, Ruger, etc. 

Also, please note
that these grips are made to fit the standard “Plowhandle” shaped (“SAA style”)
gripframes only; these grips will NOT
fit completely differently shaped gripframes, such as the Bisley, the
Birdshead, the Thunderer or the Lightning style gripframes.  Please check your revolver to make sure you
do not have one of these, or send us a photo of your gripframe if you are
unsure. We make grips for all of these different styles which you can find in
our store, so please email if you have any questions or cannot find what you
need.  A photo would of your gripframe or
grips be helpful.

2.  ALSO
PLEASE NOTE
, as a reminder, these grips are made for STANDARD SIZED grip frames ONLY and WILL NOT FIT any larger (taller) 1860 Army sized grip frames.  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. 

Some revolvers use
a taller 3-3/8” 1860 Army sized grip. 
Taylor & Co.’s Gunfighter or
Gunfighter Defender
, Taylor’s Cattleman
44 Mag.,
Cimarron’s Bad Boy, the El Patron Grizzly Paw, and the Uberti Callahan, for example, have a taller 3-3/8”
grip frame.   If you have one of these,
our Uberti 1860 Army “Conversion & Metallic Cartridge” grips will fit these
revolvers.  Please see our store and
search under the proper category or email us if you cannot find what you need.

 

IN SUMMARY: 1) Make sure you have the standard “plowhandle” shaped 3-1/8” gripframe
and not the taller 3-3/8” frame, and that your revolver was made by UBERTI; and
2) please send us the two-digit code found on your revolver (as shown in the
second photo), and the first three digits of your serial number, including the
prefixed letter if there is one.

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
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 Magna-Tusk™ Ivory
and Stag Grips:



 Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, a
product of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our
high-grade, high density ivory material designed from the beginning as a premium,
high-strength grip material.  Vastly
superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found on most 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
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 compounds to
produce outstanding aesthetic properties and mechanical
performance.  When aged with our natural 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:



We
go to great efforts to ensure that our Aged Ivory or Stag not only looks similar to, 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. 
Our aged grips feature an
authentic aged patina, just like the originals, with a process incorporating
concentrated U.V. light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), along
with a developer/control agent that is put on the grips to carefully control
U.V. absorption, in a sealed, high-oxygen environment to accelerate the natural
aging process. 



Through
this 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, Magna-Tusk develops
a variegated patina due to its authentic grain structure, and natural aging
produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina which extends into and
below 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, where our grips are immediately seen and noticed
by others.  If you are interested in
ordering grips for a Brace of pistols, please order both sets together, and we
will ensure a better matchup when selecting pairs. 



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!
