Default First pair of Culina Grips -

For my 686+, 2 1/2 inch barrel. Love the look and the feel. Outstanding for shooting, too.





In addition, what a pleasure dealing with Jennifer Culina. Great email communication, fair prices, and I didn't have to wait that long to receive my grips. Looking forward to my next pair.


Thanks for looking.

Rich

Arrow Culinas - Yes!!!

I love the Culina grips as well. They just bring out the best in your guns appearance, while providing comfort when shooting!

No doubt you will be buying many more!

Great looking grips. They wont be your last pair of Culina's. I agree Jennifer is great to work with. I've got the same Smith but my wife wants thinner grips like the contour of the hideous factory rubber grips that came on the gun

The beauty of the Culina combats is only surpassed by the shooting enhancement they provide. So go shoot that gun. Besides making your gun look great hanging in the safe, or around the barbecue, you will love the way they feel when the 686 goes bang.

Those are very sharp looking. What wood is it?

My 2.5" 686 is wearing a set of their birdseye maple combats.

Besides how beautiful they are, notice that the wood behind the trigger guard Is right to the center of the trigger guard. Hogue’s for example go much lower making the gun ride higher in the hand. Some might like that, but I prefer a lower line of sight like these and the one pair of Culina’s I have.

Default Awesome!

Congratulations on your new Culina’s!! Beautiful.

I have several Culina grips. I believe they make the best grips for function and beauty. Here’s a pair of my .357’s (66 and 19).

What wood are the grips for the 66? Both are fine looking revolvers.

Will not be your last either. Whenever I buy a new gun and the grips turn out to be non-matching I tend to get in touch with Jennifer and see what they have in stock. About half the time I get lucky, the other half I order a set in whatever wood I want. I think I have a half dozen of their sets. Lost count.

Did someone say Culina Stocks?

An older set of Walnut Kurak's (Culina) Now gone on to another owner.




Same K-22 with it's current Claro Culina Magna's; These are the everyday grips for this K-22 (1952 vintage)








And for Grins; The same K-22 with some Culina Targets in Lignum Vitae
