SEE BELOW.********A Choice for Every User! 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 (included with the grips) 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 style 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 Conversion 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. 07082200~~~~~ WHAT THESE WILL FIT:Brand New, unused grips for the PIETTA THUNDERBALL revolvers.

Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory found on factory and other aftermarket Ivory grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative ivory material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory. 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, 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, imitation stag, etc., found on many historic grips. About Our Aging Process: The best Aged Ivory grips start with the best materials. Unlike the commonly available “solid yellow” plastic grips which detract from the appearance and handling of a revolver or firearm, our Aged Ivory grips are made out of the best components available, incorporate natural materials, and feature a genuine, authentic patina. Their authenticity is so convincing that many experts cannot tell it apart from real Ivory. The difference is noticeable even in the photos, but is even more apparent in person. These grips feature authentic color mottling, variegation, and subtle wear marks as seen on many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. We offer the highest quality, most authentic imitation Aged Ivory grips available anywhere on the market. Our process utilizes concentrated UV light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), and in addition employing heat and pressure in a special controlled high oxygen-rich environment which accelerates the aging process. Unlike a painted surface, our patina actually extends below the surface, into the grip material itself. Not only does it look better to begin with, but will not chip, crack, or peel, like superficially applied surfaces. 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, just like any genuine patina, the better they look! Grip screw included with all grips. The photo used is a stock photo (a sample pair). Yours will appear similar to these. Customer satisfaction is important to us – we guarantee we will do our best to ensure your complete satisfaction!!
