Slap Happy Pappy #24722 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have a matched pair of Ubertis in stainless steal that are crying out for a pair of pearlette one piece grips and have had no luck so far. Can anyone help me out here? Slap Happy Pappy SASS 24722 Christian for eternity NRA for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Uberti or Midwest gun works carry them but they are pricey $200 a pair. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazos John Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Howdy, Pappy, I haven't bought from these fellers yet, but I plan to. http://buffalobrothers.net/ They have some good looking grips. In reference to Patton's quote, I have a SS bird's head, and I'm gonna get the grips with the fleur-de-lis. The story will be that I took it from the hand of the owner of a New Orleans house of pleasure that no longer had a need for protection. But you can use the story, too. Those fellers came and went all the time down in the Big Easy. See you in the Piney Woods, Brazos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slap Happy Pappy #24722 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Rafe, you sure give me encouragement to play the game. For all you know I might be a pimp from an expensive whorehouse or maybe I am a Christian that just likes that combination. I try not to judge a man by what he carries but by the way he shoots the targets. Brazos, thank you for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi Pappy, Eagle grips has them, called Kirinite. Also pricey. https://www.eaglegrips.com/colt-saa-grips/317-colt-saa-kirinite-white-pearl-grips.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slap Happy Pappy #24722 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Thanks Abilene, I'll check them out.. I'll be doing some checking out of the different clubs you shoot at. Kinda of looking for a club where the shooters language is not so foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Pat Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have a 1906 Sears catalog that has Colt single actions with pearl grips listed as factory option. Also, the movie “Culpepper Cattle Company” has a main charter wearing one. Patton’s big mouth got his behind in trouble quite a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slap Happy Pappy #24722 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 That's cool, I bet I start looking a bit harder. I think I'll come up with a story to go along with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Just couldn't resist using Patton's quote, he had such a way with words! Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Just FYI, white pearlite will eventually fade to gray from sunlight (UV, I guess). I have Ajax pearlite on some Colts and a set on a Thunderer and they are showing just a bit of the gray. So basically, don't leave them laying in the sun I recall a guy once who was getting bent out of shape because of the graying and he thought they were defective, but the vendor told him it's just their nature.

Slap Happy Pappy #24722 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 greying naturally is okay, would prefer they didn't but somethings you can't help. Not sure if there are any other colors that would look as nice as the Pearl. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
