Buffalo brothers grip fitting

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I really like your videos. I, too, have an affinity for these six-guns and their grips. Performing in gunfight/stunt shows tends to get rough on the grips, and mine's been through a few pairs. Glad you are putting this info out there!

[@BATJACJW]

+john scott thanks! I was at old Tucson and saw a show and got to check out there guns boy they seen some use.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes, they do. They used to use Rugers, which tend to handle drops in the sand better.

[@BATJACJW]

yeah one fella had a ruger

[@randysaunders3535]

BatJacJW; Watched your video once again, and it is very helpful . I have found that most of the gun folks are some of the nicest people out there. Can not wait to get my grips, thanks to all you guys and gals out there for all the info. Randy a.k.a. Randy Rooster

[@BATJACJW]

+Randy Saunders your welcome and yes through this gun folk right here on youtube is full of kind supportive people.

[@jd291]

Fixing to put me a buffalo brothers grip on my cimarron frontier myself and glad I came across this video, thanks for the info. 👍

[@CherokeeFlutist59]

this really helps give me an idea of what to do for fitting grips. I've been thinking about making scrimshaw grips for a couple of Cimarron Frontiers

[@stevesharber634]

So if you buy the two piece grips you just place both sides on and screw to tighten, correct? I’m looking at the Arizona grips on eBay. Not wanting to get into the whole epoxy and one piece. Thanks

[@BATJACJW]

thanks for checking it out

[@jefferyvollers2705]

Thanks for the video buddy. Just got a pair of aged Ivory from Buffalo Brothers to fit my Colt SAA blued with 7 1/2" barrel.

[@johnhutchinson788]

How do you know if the grip from buffalo brothers grips are one piece or two piece?

[@82c10]

They come as 1 piece with an insert for in-between. Or you can drill them out and put in the estechon they send with. It's either or as they require fitting.

[@MyS10Rocks]

Very good video, excellent work on your part! The molded grips you made look awesome, nice job!

[@cal30m1]

You may want to use brass screws and nuts to fasten the grips on. They don’t rust and they tarnish to a nice old school patina.

[@jcapp1698]

Great video. I have a uberti el patron. Will these fit? And also how’s the fit to the top where grip meets gun

[@bobsradio6025]

I actually prefer true one piece grips that are available from Dixie Gun Works. The trigger guard and back strap of the 1873 SAA is the same as the 1851 Navy and the 1861 Navy. The 1860 Army has a longer grip and is a great modification for those that have larger hands. The beauty of these grips is that they are actually one piece with nothing glued together. The backstrap has to be separated from the trigger guard to get it in, then it can be marked and filed to fit. Personally, I prefer walnut to the plastic look.

[@GodGunsGears]

Awesome of you to put this tutorial together for another viewer!

[@BATJACJW]

+God, Guns & Gears gotta help each other out. Extend the olive branch as they say. thanks GGG

[@craigclyde5757]

I have the same outfit. It would have been helpful to actually see you "sand" it, mark it, put the one-piece grip on the revolver. Rather than jumping around. Like you mentioned spending $75 for BB grips you don't want to make a mistake. If you ever go through the whole process of marking, beveling, sanding, and finally "fitting" it I'd love to see it. Thanks.

[@russelder9743]

very cool video----love the way the grips look(might look good on my Vaquero)

[@BATJACJW]

+russ elder they are the best i have seen

[@mikebell611]

I was searching for grip fitting tips and came across this video. The grips Im fitting on an old JP Sauer SA, are Hogue "Ivory Polymer" Surprisingly the instructions from Hogue has no info on what to do with Ivory Polymer, just info for wood. Got any Sanding and polishing Ivory polymer tips? or what not to do?

[@BATJACJW]

Polishing wise take it down from 220 320 400 600 maybe even finer then polish with either flitz or car wax will work.

[@garybarrere7552]

Was John Wayne left handed? Fingergrooves appear to be for s lefty finger tips?

[@davidk.johnson612]

Duke was R/H. Batjac is a lefty!

[@waltervangorden5671]

hi, just went to your site, could not find the vid on you actually installing a set of these grips as you said you were going to??

[@BATJACJW]

It may have gotten removed.

[@TravisBest2424]

Hey BATJAC where did you purchase the John Wayne 1 piece grips at? Im having trouble finding them.

[@MyS10Rocks]

They sell the kits at www.buffalobrothers.net The kit comes with the 2 grip panels and the block that you epoxie them together with. Just make sure you buy the correct set, left or right hand!

[@mikeellis4158]

Is it the same for the 1911 grips.

[@ColinStuart]

Batjac, thanks a lot, I'll be sure and tell Santee how much you helped! Cap'n Billy

[@GunCollector007]

Never seen these before. Beauties!

[@samwilliams1142]

So the one piece goes on a two piece grip frame. Solid frame requires a two piece grip.

[@jeffgoodin3278]

Got me a set of grips coming. Think I'm gonna let a g.smith fit them for me.

[@hawaiivolcanosquad3322]

It is very fitting for you to make this video.

[@BATJACJW]

+Hawaii Volcano Squad lol thanks

[@Squib1911]

Funny HVS.

[@kevinquinn3763]

Doe's anybody know where I can get some grips for my Schfield Top Break made by Uberti.

[@zsunsetz]

I was interested in how to remove the one piece grips.

[@BATJACJW]

+zsunsetz gotta remove the back strap from the frame.

[@double-eagle-dave]

I have a uberti cattle man 1873 I hate the plastic checkered grips they have so I was on ebay and found a 2piece black faux ivory I was thinking about changing them until I saw a video that sad you gotta do the back strap and fit that too it just looks like a night mare

[@HK_roller_delayed]

Your amateur work looks professional to me!

[@BATJACJW]

+H&Ks until the end of days! lol well thank you !!!

[@prebaned]

A cool make would be colored laminated wood.
