Cool New Culina grips on my Anaconda

Hey all, I received my Culina grips for my newish Colt Anaconda and put them on it. I am not a fan of rubber grips, which came on the Colt (or on my S&W revolvers either). I got them in Olive wood, to match up with the Olive grips on my 629-3 Classic, since I loved that combination so much. Here are a couple of pics of both of them together, wearing some of John and Jennifer's fine work. Hopefully it will warm up enough to get to the range and give them a workout and see if they are as comfortable on the Colt as the ones ones on my S&W.

Anyways, here they are, my revolver doppelgangers.

I’m amazed by the variety of wood the Culina’s come up with. Makes choices too difficult.

Thanks for the complements everyone. As you can tell, I am a big fan of John Culina's work. He has some amazing selections of wood and his workmanship is impeccable too. Without having shot the Anaconda with the new grips yet, I will say that it does feel very good in hand and reminds me much like the way the S&W N frame grips of his I have feel in hand. And what amazes me is that the shape of the Anaconda frame is quite a bit different than the Smith frames, but it gives me a feel remarkably like how the Smith grips feel in my hand.
