See below for details.~~~~~oNE-PIECE (nO SCREWHOLE) STYLETHIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR ONE-PIECE (NO SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS. SEE BELOW.********ONE-PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS:A Choice for Every User! Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw and screwhole, allowing easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver. One-piece style grips do not use a screw but instead use an internal spacer. Both styles are traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on early Colts, so it is a matter of personal preference. Both styles of 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 (included with the grips) between the grip panels, as seen on many of the early Colts. The spacer is sent loose to ensure optimum fit with your revolver, with simple, quick installation which takes one minute or so per grip (fully illustrated instructions included). 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. Alternatively, our Two-Piece style grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw and screwhole) offer the superior convenience of quick grip removal. They include a free Conversion kit, allowing their use on revolvers that are currently using one-piece style grips that do not have a grip pin. 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 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. 12062200~~~~~WHAT THESE WILL FIT – Please read this in its entirety (especially the note on Brass gripframes): This auction is for a set of Genuine Magna-Tusk™ grips for any of the PIETTA Model 1873 SAA (Single Action Army) style revolvers, with the standard SAA “plowhandle” grip shape.These will usually be marked “Pietta,” and may also (but not necessarily) be marked by the U.S. importer, such as “Cimarron,” “EMF,” “Taylors & Co.,” “Traditions,” etc.This includes any of the following:• Cimarron Frontier or Stainless Frontier• Cimarron El Malo (NOT the El Malo 2 – see below)• Cimarron Pistolero• Davidson’s Exclusive 1873s (sometimes also marked “Pietta 1873 Gunfighter”, “Pietta 1873 Rio” or “Del Rio Deluxe”, “Pietta 1873 Centennial”, “Pietta El Diablo”, etc.)• E.M.F.

If it is made by Pietta, these will fit.Note: If you do not see your pistol listed, please drop us an email with your model name and we will verify your revolver. BRASS GRIP FRAMES -- IMPORTANT!*PLEASE NOTE: if you have a BRASS gripframe (such as sometimes found on the Cimarron “Pistolero”, Davidson’s Exclusive 1873s, EMF’s GWII “Gunfighter”, or Taylor’s “1873 Single Action Stag” revolvers, for example), please send us an immediate followup email after your purchase informing us that 1) your revolver has a brass gripframe, and 2) please send us the two-letter or two-number code found in the small square box stamped underneath or on the side of the receiver. This is shown in the second photo as an example. We will need this code to make sure you get the correct grips. What these WILL NOT FIT: 1. Please note that these grips are made to fit ONLY the Pietta Model 1873 style Single Action revolvers, with the typical SAA “plowhandle” shaped gripframe, and will NOT fit any revolvers from other makers (such as Uberti, Armi San Marco, Colt, Ruger, etc.). These grips will also NOT fit the Bisley, the Birdshead, the Thunderer, Thunderball, or the Lightning style revolvers, nor any of the Remington style revolvers such as the 1858, 1875, or 1890, from ANY maker, all of which use a completely different shaped gripframe. 2. In addition, these WILL NOT FIT grip frames with the taller 1860 Army style gripframe, which are around 3-1/2” tall. To make sure you are ordering the correct grips, 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. The important thing is to make sure they are NOT around 3-1/2” tall. EMF’s Alchimista, Cimarron’s Bad Boy, or Cimarron’s El Malo 2, for example, have the taller 1860 Army style (3-1/2” tall) grip frame. If you have one of these, our Pietta 1860 Army Cap & Ball style grips are properly milled for these. Please see our store under the proper category, or email us if you cannot find what you need.Please contact us if you cannot find what you need, or if you have any questions. We are always happy to help.12062200A 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.

Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found on 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 completely 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 and synthetic compounds to produce 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 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: Unlike the lightweight artificial yellow plastic materials sometimes offered for sale, Magna-Tusk aged grips start out as a solid block of white virgin Magna-Tusk Ivory. Grip blanks are then milled from this premium material, incorporating both CNC techniques for blanking and being finished and polished with the same process used in manufacturing the originals. They are then carefully aged with our exclusive aging process, incorporating concentrated UV light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), in a hermetically sealed environment. Although this process is a much slower process than artificial coloring methods, the result speaks for itself. Our process produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina which extends into the surface, just like real ivory or stag. 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. Accept no substitutes. 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 custom-stocked revolvers to the range or club, where the quality difference is immediately seen and appreciated by fellow shooters. Magna-Tusk grips have all the authenticity of the originals, with several improvements over original materials including increased durability, and are made to last a lifetime. They feature subtle but authentic color mottling, grain variegation, and other authentic minute details found on original old Ivory and aged Stag, as seen on many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. 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! 112219 Grip screw included with all grips. The photo used is a stock photo (a sample pair) as we carry an assortment of this style grip. Yours will appear similar to these. Customer satisfaction is important to us -- full satisfaction guaranteed!
