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.

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 double check frame size: These grips will only fit Uberti revolvers
having the standard sized SAA style gripframe (around 3-1/16” to 3-1/8” tall depending on how
you hold your ruler, tape, or caliper).
These WILL NOT fit Uberti gripframes that
are around 3-3/8” tall (such as Taylor & Co.’s Gunfighter or Gunfighter
Defender, Taylor’s Cattleman 44 Mag., Cimarron’s Bad Boy, the El Patron Grizzly Paw,
the Uberti Callahan, etc). Please
check your revolver carefully before ordering. If you have one of these taller frames, our
Uberti 1860 Army “Conversion & Metallic Cartridge” grips will fit these
revolvers. You can locate these in our
store.
.22 Stallion Revolvers: Please note that these will NOT fit the .22 Caliber Uberti
“Stallion” revolvers, which use a smaller grip.
Please contact us if you have a .22 Stallion so we can supply the proper
grips.
Non-Uberti makers and other grip shapes: These WILL NOT FIT any revolvers from other makers (such as
Pietta, Armi San Marco, Colt, Ruger, etc.).
Also, these will NOT fit revolvers using a gripframe that is not
the standard “plowhandle” shape, such as the Bisley, the Birdshead, the
Thunderer, Thunderball, or the Lightning style gripframes, nor any of the
Remington style revolvers such as the 1858, 1875, or 1890. These use an entirely
different gripshape. Please take a
careful look at the shape of your gripframe.
These are for the standard “plowhandle” style revolvers only.
[Rev. 23120905]
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.
For an
additional charge, custom fitting is an option.
Please contact us for further details if you are interested in custom
fitting.

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!
