As a smaller percussion revolver the Colt 1862 Police made for people who wanted something easier to carry than the larger Colt models. Police officers, gentlemen, and gamblers all had reason to favor a compact sidearm, and smooth bone gave an easy way to dress up the gun, with the natural character of a genuine material. These pairs follows that old Colt taste while being made specifically for the Uberti 1862 Police.
These one-piece grips are made to order, not pulled from a shelf. The bone is shaped, fitted, polished, and finished by hand, so the final pair develops its own character as the work progresses. Natural bone brings its own color, grain, pores, and small variations, and those details are part of what makes a hand-finished set worth having.
For the best fit, we prefer to work with your revolver. If sending the firearm is not practical, we can work from your original grips, back strap, and trigger guard. Either way, this is a set made for your particular gun rather than a generic pair expected to fit everything exactly alike.

Smooth bone suits the 1862 Police because it adds character without overwhelming the compact lines of the revolver. As the bone ages and takes on the marks of time and handling, its color can develop a warmer, deeper appearance reminiscent of old ivory. That gradual change is part of the appeal—a new set today can develop the look of a well-aged grip with years of use.
