Rumor has it, Santee is still out there singing with sparkly sequences blinding those around him as he affectionately gazes at his bone grips on his single action.
Yes! I'm gettin' tired too!
@@ArizonaGhostriders 🤣
Johnny Cash could probably make a song outta that
I also heard that Little Alien joined him as well and they might be a Duo.
I personally love the antler grips. That's awesome the production budget got to help restore the set further!
Yup!
A video revolving around this subject is always gripping, glad to see you could handle it.
HA! Funny.
I love River Junction! Getting to go on the inside of the building was awesome.
I so want to visit them. I'd never leave.
Thanks again Santee & Co.
Any time!
Beautiful pair of grips! He did a great job 👏
I certainly agree!
Those grips look fantastic on your shootin' iron Santee! Look good in that holster too! Another great video, can't wait to see the one on the hats!
Thanks, Richard. Appreciate the holster you made. Looks great! Like the whole set is meant to be together.
I've always wondered about that and for my 16th birthday I got a knife that had grips made out of deer horns
So cool!
Antler handles are awesome!
@@seanmessick9330 They are.
I live in Iowa and did not know about River Junction Trade Co. in McGregor, Iowa. Very cool.
Awesome!
The grips look Amazing!!
Yes they do
I don’t know which was fancier, those Bone Grips or Santee’s sparkly outfit. 🤩
My outfit AND the grips!
I own one of their hats, 4 of their shirts, and a pair of their grips. Great company. The best, actually.
Agreed!
I love River Junction and they're my go-to for Western wear and equipment. I rock their wild bunch bandolier any time I'm trap shooting.
YES!
Spot on episode Santee A dear friend sent me a pair of grips very similar to those you have, and I did size them to my Cattleman also
🥃
You just haven't lived till you have worked with antler and breathed in that "special" aroma
Yeah...not in a rush to "live" it again! My garage smelled like it for 3 days!
It's fascinating to see that our fellow cowboys had style even in the 18th century
Yes.
19th
Wow, Santee, your grips look great. A little sweat from slapping leather & you've got the start of a nice patina to them. Arizona Ghostbusters just keeps getting better all the time. Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Beautiful grips and kudos to those who made your new holster!
Thanks 👍
I love the look of those one-piece grips!
Right??
LOL, Great episode Santee. Love the grips, I may have to buy a set or two. JT
How far are ya from McGregor, Iowa? Go see them fellers in person.
I am a grip guy too! My favorite so far are a pair of ram horn however I want a pair of jigged elk horns just like Marshall Matt Dillon’s and I think River Junction may be able to help me out!!!
They can. They also have levels of "distress" if you want them to look older.
That was a good one. I'm somewhat of a grip collector myself. I love showing up with different pair of grips every time I go to a cowboy fastdraw computation. My alias is handlebarslim.
Right on, Handlebar!
My alias is Nobody. As in, "Who stole that horse?" Nobody stole it.
@@tomjackson4374 what part of the country are you in? We have a nobody in our club
@@handlebarslim78 I almost said I bet there a lot of nobodies at your club. Please forgive me. Actually I am from Nowhere.
@@tomjackson4374 Lol not a problem my friend. Enjoy your Sunday.
Those grips looked fantastic! I am very happy for you my friend.
Thanks 👍
Good job Dan. Santee, glad you came to "grips" with the song and dance number...maybe now you'll learn to not brag as much about your time on Broadway. Glad to see Mescal gettin' used again. Great video...and real purty outfit there at the end. It was a nice "sequins" to throw in.
Sequins! Good one.
@@ArizonaGhostriders lol.
The grips look great Santee, and your outfit looked. . The grips looked great!
Thank You!
Awesome video Santee like always!! Absolutely love the shenanigans witn Dirty Dan!!!! Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Grips turned out great.
Yup!
I have always thought about getting bone grips.
I love my antler ones, and now these bone feel terrific.
Let's get to the bone of the grip of it! Any six shooter looks great with them ! Pretty neat 👌
Thanks.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Don't mentioned just keep bringing up the stuff that we don't no about the old west amigo and you guys doing so well.
Quite a, ah, um, fetching outfit, Santee. The bone handles are beautiful!
Thank You!
A late friend of mine made his own set of bone grips for one of his SAA revolvers. He did it all by hand, using eyeball measurements. They turned out beautifully.
Very cool. The guy at River Junction does so as well, but he is also a woodworker, so he has the skills and extra tools to knock 'em out.
@@ArizonaGhostriders It's beyond my skill level. I had a deuce of time just trying to reshape and sand down an oversized set of wood grips so they would better fit my Bounty Hunter 44 Magnum.
You know Santee you seem to forget that when you or your wife goes "Pew Pew", it actually means that us Veterans just testiculary relieved ourselves. Yeah it never gets old.
Oh, I see!
That Dan…he pulls a good one on you every time 😂 great video Santee
Thanks 👍
Neat, just plain neat Santee!
Thank You!
Beautiful grips Santee. I may just have to do this to mine. Thanks for the history lesson. :)
You're welcome.
Agree bone work makes your shop smell like a dentist office. Congratulations on the movie 🤠👍 Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks 👍
So you got new grips for your six pew-ter! Nice!
Yeah I did
Thanks for the G2 on your outfitter. Your grips are dope dude!
They are, thanks!
I was once passing near McGreggor Iowa and tried to stop at River Junction's physical store. Unfortunately it was a Sunday and they weren't open.
Now I think they require appointments, but you could check with them.
@@ArizonaGhostriders This was quite a few years ago. At the time their website listed regular hours for their store.
What a gorgeous revolver!
It likes its grips.
General Patton sported ivory grips on his Colt .45 SAA. The Jay Scott company offered imitation stag horn and ivory grips occasionally seen on the revolvers of the cops in NYC and surrounding communities prior to the 1990s, but only if they were high ranking bosses or members of elite units like the motorcycle division or horse mounted units.
Interesting info on the NYC cops. In the 90s I was a membr of an NYC gun range and they had a box of old police-used SW .38s for sale at $250 a piece. I shoulda bought one then....dang.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yeah, probably Model 10 s ? Used to hang out in the Bronx. I have of box of 18 .38 Special cartridges 158 grain semi wadcutter solid flat nosed bullets. I believe these are Winchester, Was advised this packaging was for NYPD. Back in the old days many NYC cops were colorful characters who would not be tolerated on that job today. But if your dearest family member were in distress, those were the guys you hoped would be responding.
@@richardkluesek4301 So I understand. It was interesting to see the beat-up shape of those guns. Those guys were/are tough
@@ArizonaGhostriders God Bless and Keep our Officers 'n Deputies.
Wow those look great! I need to get in contact with these people
Please do! Tell 'em Santee sent you. Well....they may charge you double, then. Let's see how they like my video first. LOL.
I really like those 'amber-colored' simulated ivory grips you showed off, Santee! All of my guns double as 'working guns,' so a 'lesser expensive yet snazzy' choice makes sense for me. Think I'll drink that half-bottle of bourbon in celebration of my just ordering grips like yours off the internet. Kind of the 'modern day equivalent' to shooting something, skinning it, scaring off feral cats, then carving the bones into grips to fit my SAA clone! lol! Just as a safety note, though: as your internet friend that you've never even seen, let alone met-- *please, please, PLEASE make sure Alec Baldwin is nowhere near the set when you guys are filming!* *smirk😏
He has been banned from the set, thanks.
It’s Santeeday, so get ready for the rip-roarin’ puns from a happy six shooter and it’s favorite rapscallion! Congrats to the Ghostriders who received the movie parts. That’s pretty cool!!!
Thanks. LOL!
I love every episode, even when I know little to nothing about the topic, which was the case with grips. You and the rest of the team make everything interesting, informative, and totally entertaining, Santee. Those clips are just perfect. 🤠🌟👏 ...humerus / humorous 😆
Means a lot. Thank you so much!
The new grips look great and so did this episode, any more musical numbers coming up in the future? 😉
Oh yeah. Bill is in talks with Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. They're whipping something up...
Haha, LOL!!!
When I finally get my 6 shooter/smoke wagon (from what Wyatt Earp calls it in Tombstone ha ha), those are the style of grips I want to get. Thank you for putting the link on there.
Sure!
Nice video, and thanks for the info!
You're welcome, TUCO!
You have a firm grip on this 'un, Santee. Most enjoyable.
HA!
I have to say, Santee missed a good opportunity to name this video. “Getting a grip on bones grips”
Well, it WAS that. However, I didn't like the word "grip" repeated enough to keep it.
Looking sharp Santee
Thank You!
Hahaha "hello my.." Spaceballs !
🤠
I bought a set of imitation Stag grips from Altamont for my Ruger New Vaquero, love them. Solid and very stag looking.
Very nice!
Santee sir you are crazy. I pretty much always get a chuckle.
Yes, I am.
Santee should be in a musical.
I already did that career, but thanks!
Now I know what type of handle was on my toy cap gun when I was a kid.
Good!
No bones about it….you really had a grip on this one. Nice six shooter 👍
LOL! Appreciate it.
Excellent episode Santee. The grips look great. Good to hear about Mescal. Y'all have a great weekend!
Thank You!
Now thats some beautiful grips you got there Santee :) :)
Drool drool! Right?
I think Cheese looks quite sparkley too !!!! ha ha ha.... wow, do those grips look awesome !
Yes they do! Thank You!
I also like mammoth grips as well!
Me too! One buddy has them He told me they had to be impregnated with resin because they were brittle.
Thanks. I'm going to check out River Junction.
Please do!
Wonderful as always Santee. I have been buying from River Junction for a few years now. My favorite hat is from them. Wonderful folks. Oh and hey! I will be back out in Mescal Movie set mid October for the filming of a Documentary! Thanks for the video and those grips look great!
That's super, Chris! Congrats.
Just got a new to me Blackhawk and I've already been thinking about stag grips. This video is just more fuel on the fire!🤣🤣🤣
yeeehaw!
the ending😂 quite sparkly indeed. Though I do wonder how someone could make themselves stand out back in the time of the frontier
Sequins help.
Sparkly
Yes!
Those grips always look super nice but can be a little rough on the hands especially in larger calibers. With the antler ones. Great video brother! Pew Pew! That is so cool about the Mescal project! EPIC 🤓
No doubt! I've never shot stag grips in higher than .45 Thanks, man
@@ArizonaGhostriders my pleasure brother! You're a smart man Santee!
It's just not you , and your ghost buddy will have fun with that.🤣
We both will.
I've known Jim for close to 25 years and it used to be a lot of fun going down to his cowboy fest or whatever you want to call it back in the old days but yes a lot of people did use bone and I've seen it on originals quite a bit
I think they are the neatest grips next to my stag.
Nice video like always santee! wish i could get a HOLD on this information earlier
LOL!
Those are nice looking grips. I looked up River Junction Trade Co, maybe I’ll get a set for my 1873 Cattleman.
Nice....have 'em fitted, or prepare to do it yourself.
Looks like "Captain America had a real handle on this one at the end.....Quite a six-gun collection !
LOL! Thank You!
River Junction Trading Co is in Iowa? Hell yeah time for a road trip!
Tell them I said "hi"
@@ArizonaGhostriders "Santee sent me!" proceeds to be thrown bodily out the store Jazzy Jeff style.
@@jumpingbean69 LOL
beautiful grips
Appreciated
That's a dandy part, for a dandy. I've kept my wooden grips on mine, at my age it's the only wood I get my hand around anymore.
HAAHA!
A truly gripping episode.
LOL!
Yep. Those grips are purdy.
Thank You!
Nice grips on that shootin Iron Santee! Switch to a top hat and Cain for your number in the movie 🎬
Good idea!!
A great video I laughed a lot had to rewatch. The bone grips look great.
Thanks 👍
purdy grips amigo 🤠🤠
Thank You!
LOVE THE OUTFIT AND GRIPS SANTEE
Thank You!
Beautiful grips, nothing beats the real thing. Personally I like bone, ivory and horn, especially buffalo or cow horn. Thanks for the excellent video, as always I learned something new, and as always I'm looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for watching!
Way cool grips. I've pimped out several of revolvers and pistols with new grips
Awesome, Ralph! "Pimped out"....I love that.
Loved the pun and the Michigan Frog impersonation. You're bone tibia wild! Also you learned me something about jigged grips. As always, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
🤣. I love the pew-pews 🤣
🤣🤣
Those Bone Grips Made that Ol SmokeWagon Snazzy Have a good one
Oh yeah
Would love to see you cover Gypsies of the old west and also ghost stories from the old west
OK!
I wish your videos were longer...like maybe an hour or two. Love the video, Santee!!!
Thanks.
hey Santee, got my self a schofield to my collection, ok its a BB, but boy it packs a wollop, love it to bits.
Those look pretty close to the real deal, don't they?
One of the things I find interesting about grips for the SAA is how difficult it is to find just a plain walnut, or whatever basic type of wood you want, single piece grips with checkering. You would think with lasers doing the checking engraving mostly now that it wouldn't be that hard to find a reasonable priced set that are checkered for those of use who need/want grips with it on them. Heck even the Heritage Rough Rider offers checkered grips for under $40.
I had no idea checkering was hard to find.
Very nice grips, and congrats on the casting!
Thank You!
Very interesting and informative video, I really liked and enjoyed it. I learned a lot about bone gun grips from the old west. I’m definitely going to be adding bone gun grips to my old West inspired analog horror series Mysteriarch Mythos I’m writing.
Great!
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks 👍🏼😎🌟
That holster is amazing and will pair up with your shootin iron real good. Glad to see you grew up with the same cartoons I did. The singing frog is a classic.
He is!
Oh and another great episode!!!
Thanks!
Lookin pretty snazzy in that song and dance get up Amigo ! Great video as always !
HAHA!
Hahahaha!!! Great ending! Great info!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to see Santee getting a grip on things..... Sorry as a dad i am legally obligated to make dad jokes
I get it.
Good morning Santee, That was an excellent video… Another great job and I have learned something of the old West that I did not know… So keep up the great work and I look forward to another awesome video next week… Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
Buffalo trace is a good choice....🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍❤❤❤
ALways.
Santee get a "GRIP" on yourself Sir! LoL 🤠 Those new grips on you shooter looks amazing! Bet the cost hurt the back pocket.
Handmade natural material grips typically cost a lot more than their plastic or resin counterparts.
