Arizona Custom Grips Cimarron Uberti SAA clone

[v8stang289]

Posting this thread to help people in the future. Was looking for Faux Ivory Grips for my Cimarron Sheriff's model, I liked the pics I found of Arizona Custom products, but couldn't find much info, even on their own listings. I did message them directly, and they answered all my questions.

I got the plain un-aged Ivory. They're very white, with no grain to speak of. I do like them, they feel very heavy/dense, and fit very well.

The "one piece" grips come as a 3 piece set that has to be epoxied together.
It's not a hard ordeal, just mock it up the clamp/glue it together


I used Permatex 5-minute epoxy


the instructions say to coat the grip frame in light grease, but since I had some release agent left over from pro-bed 2000 kit, I use that to coat the grip frame.


I used a block of oak ply and a small Irwin clamp

first mock up one side to check fitment, then put the grip into place, but a light coat of epoxy on one side of the spacer, and clamp it in place to dry.




After letting it dry for 5-10 minutes, I mixed a little more epoxy and coated the other side of the spacer, then positioned the other grip and clamped it in place.




After letting it dry, I removed the grip frame and cleaned the release agent.

The bottom of the grips are flat. I do wish the bottom was beveled like colt/factory, but they're not bad.


I'm very impressed with how well they fit to be a pre-fit grip. They don't perfectly align with the grip frame, but they're really close and feel really good.


I'm definitely happy with the way it turned out.

Well done! I've been thinking about using their fitting service for a couple guns.
