“Note: We strive to give each customer as much information as possible before they make a purchase. Videos, descriptions, and phone/email support are all provided in order to educate the customer on what will, or will not fit their gun. Due to a recent hike in returns due to that information being ignored.. and due to the rising cost of labor, ink, packing materials, shipping costs, etc… we have no choice but to institute a 20% restocking fee on any part that was purchased by mistake if the customer did not avail themselves of the help we offered before hand. Thanks for understanding!”

PLEASE… PLEASE.. PLEASE… HIT THE “SUBMIT ORDER” / “PLACE ORDER” BUTTON ONE TIME!! LET IT PROCESS FOR THE SEVERAL SECONDS IT NEEDS.

Billing and shipping address, as well as names MUST match.. if they do not, we will contact you to discuss your order. Due to increased charge backs due to fraud, we must insist that if this policy is not followed, that the named person in the billing address must pay for signed receipt delivery.

WE OFFER BOTH USPS PRIORITY MAIL AND UPS. USPS PRIORITY MAIL LISTS A DELIVERY ESTIMATE (2 DAY, 3 DAY, ECT..).. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEED SERVICE BY DATE. THIS IS AN ESTIMATE THEY USE, ON THEIR SYSTEM. THEIR ESTIMATE DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OUR PROCESSING TIMES… NOR IS IT A GUARANTEED SERVICE LIKE UPS 2ND DAY.

UPS CHARGES US RETAIL RATES, THAT INCLUDE TRACKING, E-MAIL NOTIFICATION. WE HAVE NOTICED SINCE 2019 THAT USPS SERVICE HAS BEEN UNRELIABLE WITH MISSING OR DELAYED PACKAGES. USPS TRACKING IS NOT THE SAME AS UPS TRACKING, AND HAS PROVED TO BE UNRELIABLE AS WELL, SO WE OFFER THE CHOICES BUT LEAVE THE DECISION UP TO THE CUSTOMER. WE UNDERSTAND THE HIGH COST DIFFERENCE, HOWEVER, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE AS MANY CHOICES AS POSSIBLE IN DELIVERY & SERVICES.

WE ACCEPT AMERICAN EXPRESS, VISA, DISCOVER, AND MASTERCARD DIRECTLY VIA THE WEBSITE CHECK OUT SYSTEM, OR BY PHONE AT 810-202-4199. MAILED CHECKS AND MONEY ORDERS ARE ALSO WELCOME, BUT WITH A SLIGHT DELAY IN SHIPPING. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PREPAID CREDIT GIFT CARDS.

YES WE DO. PLEASE GIVE US A CALL AT 810-202-4199, AND WE CAN HELP YOU.

Grip Fitting: Wicked Grips made for the CZ75 and Desert Eagle

Due to changing frame tolerances overs the many years and different factory/makers of these pistols, minor fitting might be required in rare cases. We suggest having a qualified person install them if that is the case. You may also ask us to help fit the grips for you, which we are happy to do for free… However, the customer would be responsible for shipping. We make our grips to tight tolerances, which fit the vast majority of quality frames, but we cannot be responsible for tolerance changes outside of our control.

FIRST… NEVER CLEAN YOUR GRIPS WITH GUN CLEANER… A SIMPLE BUFF WITH A GOOD WAX, LIKE RENAISSANCE WAX, IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND. A FEW SIMPLE RULES TO FOLLOW:

  • DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN YOUR GRIP SCREWS! GRIP SCREWS CREATE A WEDGE EFFECT, AND WILL CRACK A GRIP IF YOU TORQUE IT DOWN LIKE YOU ARE MOUNTING A TIRE!! JUST SNUG THEM UP.
  • DO NOT USE DIP CLEANERS… THIS WILL RUIN YOUR GRIP’S FINISH

“Make sure firearm is unloaded, with magazine removed. Insert included bit into a screw driver bit holder handle. Insert Bit into screw fully so that it does not slip out, then align screw with screw hole. Turning handle with even pressure, install screw. If you have trouble with any of these steps, please take your firearm to a gunsmith”. ALL SCREWS HAVE BEEN TEST FIT INTO A FIREARM PRIOR TO SHIPPING.  THIS CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH WITH OUR MORE EXOTIC MATERIALS… DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE GRIP SCREWS. MATERIALS LIKE HIGH END BURLS, GEMSTONES, PEARLS, HORN, BONE, IVORY, ECT… ARE VERY EASY TO CRACK IF YOU OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS. THIS ALSO INCLUDES OUR REPLICATED GEM, JADE, BUFFALO, IVORY ARTIST SERIES GRIPS. JUST A DAB OF BLUE LOC-TITE ON THE GRIP SCREW, AND SNUG THEM UP USING THE O-RING PROVIDED IN THE SCREW HOLES.. AND YOU WILL HAVE YEARS OF TROUBLE FREE USE! IF YOU WRENCH ON YOUR GRIP SCREW TO GET THEM AS TIGHT AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.. YOU WILL BREAK EXOTIC MATERIAL GRIPS.

IF YOU TAKE PROPER CARE OF THEM, AND FOLLOW OUR DIRECTION IN NOT OVER TIGHTENING THE GRIP SCREWS, THEN WE DO TAKE CARE OF WARRANTY ISSUES DUE TO WORKMANSHIP OR A FLAW IN THE MATERIAL. ABUSE, NEGLECT, ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE AND ANY CRACKS THRU GRIP SCREW HOLES DUE TO OVER TIGHTENED GRIP SCREWS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY.

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY APPROVED RETURN AFTER 30 DAYS OF PURCHASE, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Returns. All sales are final. Wicked Grips may, at our discretion, make an exception in which case a restocking charge of 20% of the purchase price plus shipping will be charged. Any and all returns must be authorized via email and returns must be accompanied by, and will only be accepted with, a Return Merchandise Authorization number (RMA) issued by Wicked Grips. To discuss a possible return, you must email us at ed@wickedgrips.com.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THESE PARTS.. FIREARM PARTS AND ACCESSORIES, WE WILL NOT ACCEPT A RETURN ON ANY PART THAT SHOWS SIGNS OF USE OR HAVING BEEN INSTALLED OR AN ATTEMPT TO INSTALL IT HAS OCCURRED… UNLESS YOU DISCUSS IT WITH US FIRST, AND WE APPROVE THE RETURN.
SOME PARTS REQUIRE EXPERIENCE TO INSTALL.. OR A GUNSMITH… AND SO WE CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN SCRATCHED.. SHOW TOOL MARKS.. DAMAGED.. OR USED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT AN ITEM AND THE INSTALLATION PROCESS, OR ITS COMPATIBILITY WITH YOUR PARTICULAR FIREARM, PLEASE ASK FIRST, AND WE WILL HELP YOU SELECT THE RIGHT PART FOR YOUR NEEDS. IF YOU ARE UNSURE HOW TO INSTALL, WE RECOMMEND TAKING IT TO A REPUTABLE GUNSMITH FOR INSTALLATION.
PLEASE SEE TERMS OF SERVICE / TERMS OF SALE ON THE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON RESTOCKING FEES AND POLICIES.

NO… THEY WILL NOT. SPRING PLUGS ON A 1911 WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE TRADITIONAL RECOIL SPRING AND SHORT GUIDE ROD (AND BUSHING BARREL). IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE A FULL LENGTH GUIDE ROD, UNLOAD YOUR WEAPON, AND SAFELY RETRACT THE SLIDE. IF YOU SEE A ROD OF STEEL UNDER YOUR BARREL, POKING OUT THE FRONT, YOU HAVE A FULL LENGTH GUIDE ROD. PLEASE SEE VIDEO ON SPRING PLUG FITMENT IN EVERY SPRING PLUG PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.
