and how does it work?</U></B></div> <div> We use a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser which produces a very intense inferred beam to make images on our gun grips.  The process is different for different grip materials.  </div> <div> <B>Laser etching images on Aluminum</B> sets GunGrips.net apart from most of the rest of the industry.  Our aluminum grips are anodized which make them very resistant to wear and scratches.  Scrimshaw artist have great difficulty scrimming images in the anodized coating of these grips.  The CO2 laser easily burns through the top surface of the anodized coating to expose the aluminum below.  Typically, the laser removes less than 0.001 inch of material from the surface of the grips, so to the touch, one can hardly feel the image from the rest of the grip.  <B>Laser etching images on Polymer grips</B> is an entirely different process.  In this case, we use the laser beam to vaporize the grip material so we can fill it with an appropriate ink or paint.  In this case, we etch or vaporize the image area to a depth of about 0.015 inch.</div> <div>  <A NAME="how_durable_is_the_image_on_your_grips_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom"

not "split" sets to make a single panel for our customers.  The answer for polymer grips is similar except it is not the etched area that isn't always the same, rather it's the raw material the manufacturer used to make the grips.  It isn't consistent enough to split the sets.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Frequently Asked Questions"><U>Return to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <div>  <A

<div> Laser etching gun grips is relatively new to the industry.  A few people are making grips with laser etched images on them.  The companies come and go as each tries to carve out a profit.  We

them in inventory and what part of the country you live in.  We keep an small inventory of over 400 of the various styles of grips including aluminum and polymers.  If we have the grips you ordered in stock, we usually ship by Priority Mail within 7 days of receiving your order.   When we do not have the grips in stock, our suppliers most always cooperate by shipping the grips to us within 2-3 weeks of our special order to them.  One more important issue is "our 30 day deadline".  When you purchase your grips on line, all you have really done is AUTHORIZE GunGrips.net to collect the amount you charged from your account.  We do not actually collect from your account until after we ship your grips.  If we do not collect in 30 days however, the bank closes the charge and we can no longer collect the funds.  For this reason we have a real incentive to ship your grips in 30 days or completely loose the sale unless you will reorder.  In some cases, when the time is about to exceed 30 days for some reason, we often collect the funds from customer's account before shipping the grips.  This keeps the order open and we can ship the grips when we receive the blanks.</div> <bR> <div> <A

A lot of you know this but for those with questions.</div> <bR> <div> Will fit 92F, 92F-S, 92G, 92D, 92 Centurion, 96, 96D and M-9 The Beretta 92 series pistols are high capacity (double stack magazine) pistols. They are very high quality and are produced in Italy and the United States. This pistol is the official handgun on the U.S. military. Because it is a double stack pistol the grip frame is very wide so the grips we make are as thin as possible. Rubber wraparound measure .160 thousandths of an inch thick on each side. Wood grips are slightly thicker.</div> <bR> <div> Grips also fit Brigadier, Centurion, Elite, and Elite II models.</div> <div> Grips also fit 92d and 92g models. D Models - Double action only, no safety lever (slick slide)G Models - Double/single action, with external ambidextrous decocking lever,</div> <div> rotating firing pin striker. Trigger bar disconnect and a spring loaded safety return.</div> <bR> <div> You use the stock screws to install grip but must not use the star washers.</div> <div> We also sell replacement screws for the 92. They are available slotted or hex head in Black or satin chrome finish. Look up part numbers below. </div> <bR> <div> Taurus makes a gun very similar to the 92 but it requires a different grip. #99 </div> <bR> <div> -Our grips will not fit:</div> <div> The COMPACAT Beretta 92FS INOX</div> <div> The CHEETAH </div> <div> The COUGAR this model uses #91 </div> <div> The Model 92 Vertec</div> <div> The Compact 92 this model uses #93. #93 will not fit type M (type M is a single stack) ours will only fit the double stack </div> <div> -For Beretta 950 the only grip that will fit is the Handall.jr </div> <bR> <div> -Taurus has changed the design of grip screws on full size pistols. Prior to approx. ‘97, pistols used 4 frame screw bushings using screws of Beretta design. Three of four bushings were omitted and now Taurus screws are machined to the size of the previous bushing and screw in one unit. The fourth (top left) screw bushing is still present and doubles its’ purpose as a spring retainer. Old style screw bushings can be purchased from Taurus and used to allow use of Beretta design grip screws on current pistols.</div> <bR> <div> More information on the Model 92 can be found HERE</div> <bR> <div> Beretta - 17601 Beretta Dr. Accokeek, MD 20607 (301) 283 2191 - <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>www.beretta.com</U></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Frequently Asked Questions"><U>Return to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="powder_coat_images_durability_and"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>POWDER COAT IMAGES Durability and applications</U></B></div> <bR> <div> We searched long and hard to find a method to put color on aluminum grips.  The powder coat process we developed has the advantage of being very durable and in applications on aluminum grips, we can maintain significant detail in the images.  Although we do not recommend you do this, we have tested the powder coat by scrubbing the image with Brillo Pads, washing it with gun cleaners, kerosene and alcohol.  It has proved to be resistant to all of these punishments, so we feel we have found a product durable enough to be used on a "carry gun".  </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Frequently Asked Questions"><U>Return to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="how_durable_are_your_aluminum_grips_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>How durable are your Aluminum Grips?</B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="df20c190.png" border=0 width="780" height="537" ALT="Microsoft Word Document" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="how_tough_and_scratch_resistant_is_the"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>How tough and scratch resistant is the CeraKote clear coat?</U></B></div> <div> We've used this ceramic clear coat material for over a year with excellent results.  The CeraKote company has</div> <div> tested the finished coating for hardness, abrasion and corrosion resistance.  The material excels in every</div> <div> catagory.  This link to their on line hardness/scratch resistance test gives us great confidence in CeraKote.</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/resources/files/testing/Hardness.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/resou"><U>http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/resources/files/testing/Hardness.pdf</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Frequently Asked Questions"><U>Return to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="how_durable_are_the_uv_photo_print"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><B>How durable are the UV Photo Print images?</B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="ea30cf60.png" border=0 width="780" height="246" ALT="Microsoft Word Document" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Frequently Asked Questions"><U>Return to Top</U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
