Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 My second gen Colt with "jigged buffalo grips" The original ones have a crack in them. Purty ain't she??
Warden Callaway Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 I bought this one with no finish. Love the eagle grips. Spring Creek Armory refinished it. Nickel 1971 Family heirloom 1962
Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Posted August 17, 2021 3rd Gen never fired, soon to be slicked up and taken out to the range!

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Very nice. Second gen Colts are fun to shoot and own.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Posted August 17, 2021 Just to be clear, I didn't post this to show off my Colts I thought the "jigged grips" were unique. I've never seen these before.
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Is it just me?? Or does it appear in the Tin Type, the Grip doesn't fit the frame??

They do not fit perfect it’s true, but they’re close enough to shoot with. Boy you have a good eye for an old coot
Kid Shane, SASS #40660 Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 River Junction Trading makes a set of grips very much like that. They are not cheap!

Zach Taylor,SASS#14359 Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Those grips don't cover the backstrap, other than that, not bad.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 19, 2021 Author Posted August 19, 2021 Second gen is on top, notice the small crack in the lower left of the grip? It's hard to see in this pic but anyway I glued it with JB weld. It seems to be holding but I bought those "Jigged grips" just in case.
Geronimo Jim SASS # 21775 Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD LIKE A GENUINE COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY.
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 I have this beauty. Unfired, purchased from the son of the original owner! Also got this second gen from the same person though it has been fired.
