Slap Happy Pappy #24722 14 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 407 Posted November 6, 2020 Uberti or Midwest gun works carry them but they are pricey $200 a pair. Rafe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brazos John 170 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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slap Happy Pappy #24722 14 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abilene, SASS # 27489 1,091 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slap Happy Pappy #24722 14 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish-Pat 303 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slap Happy Pappy #24722 14 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rafe Conager SASS #56958 407 Posted November 7, 2020 Just couldn't resist using Patton's quote, he had such a way with words! Rafe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abilene, SASS # 27489 1,091 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slap Happy Pappy #24722 14 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
