TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS EXPLAINED: Note: One-Piece style grips do not use a screw but instead use an internal spacer. Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw and screwhole, 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 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. The spacer (included with your grips) is sent unmounted to ensure the optimum fit to your particular frame. Installation is simple and takes only a few minutes, and is explained in the included instructions. 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. Once mounted, they are taken on and off by removing the three backstrap screws, and pulling the grip and backstrap backwards. 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. In addition to the screw our Two-Piece style grips include a free Conversion Kit, allowing their use on revolvers that are currently set up for One-Piece style grips that do not have a grip pin (as is the case with most Italian revolvers). 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 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 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 instructions are included with every order.

Rev. 23120145 ~~~~~ 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. 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! 040720 Please note that the photo used is a stock photo (a sample pair). Yours will appear similar to these.
