Denver Don Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 For All You Colt Guru's out there I was Wondering if there was any way to tell for sure Just From Looking at a Set Of Single Action Grip's What They Fit as in 1st 2nd or 3rd Generation. I Picked up a set of Colt Grips a while back ago that was not listed as what they fit and my intention was to put them on a non-colt Nickle 22 thought they would look nice .... they dont fit well not with out making a lot of modifications, so i decided not to cut em up, then i had a feller wanted to buy em but said if they fit a first generation colt ..... heck if i know ...... I have have and have had some Colts but not The 1873 Model SAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 All grips have to be fitted. There are differences between Colts and clones and mass produced grips are marked for one or the other. However, all of them have to be fitted to a particular gun.

Doc Windshadow Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well I think only the black powder frame with the screw holding in the cyl. pin came with one piece grips... or at any rate that is what I was told at one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My grandad had a 2nd Gen. Colt from the factory with 1 piece grips. I think it was special order. Tascosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
