Buffalo brothers grip fitting 

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; 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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

thanks for checking it out

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.

Never seen these before. Beauties!

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

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

It is very fitting for you to make this video.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your amateur work looks professional to me!

Thanks for sharing bro.

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?

A cool make would be colored laminated wood.

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??

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

Is it the same for the 1911 grips.

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

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

I just looked up thjeir web site. Buffalo Brothers in Mesa Az. !!! I go Mesa every winter for 2 to 4 weeks!!!! Just got back! I am going to take my German made six shooter along next winter and see if they can make me a set!!!!!!!

These grips look like it's for left handed person. I am right handed

it looks like a bar of soap.

straighten out your sound if you want anyone to watch.
