Hey everyone. I just recently picked up my first revolver - a 586 no dash. It didn't come with original grips, but that's besides the point. It did, however, come with some very nice Culina grips, but sadly they're just too large for my hands. I've replaced them with some Ahrends, mostly on recommendations I read here, and they're perfect for my hands.
I'd love to keep the grips it came with, but I'll never be able to use them for anything other than admiring them. That said, Culina seems to offer a whole lot of different woods and finishes, and I'm having a hard time identifying much other than the fact that they're Culina K-frame grips. I was hoping someone might be able to help me figure out exactly what these might be, wood and finish-wise. Thanks!
We're fortunate to have John’s wife Jennifer representing their business on the forum. Send her a PM and provide a link to your thread. I’m sure she’ll be happy to assist with identification.
Definitely, Cocobolo and made in 2015. If you can't use them, sell them! Someone will want them, especially since there is a long wait for square combats and Cocobolo is desirable.
