Some more Culina goodness

[muddocktor]

My newest set of Culina stocks were waiting for me when I got in from the rig, Wednesday. I did some moving and swapping around of my Culina stocks on my guns and the new ones ended up on my nickel 29-2. These are Jatoba wood and I went with a speedloader cutout on them.




I had these feather crotch Claro Walnut grips on the 29-2, but I was having some clearance issues when ejecting the cases from the 44 which actually put a few light scars in the football cut on them. Now they are on my 25-2, which with the much shorter case of the 45 ACP give no problems on extraction.




Finally, here is my old 5" 27-2, which is wearing a new set of Cocobolo Culina stocks. I got these stocks at the same time I got the Claro Walnut stocks.

I debated that myself, but decided I like all three.

I just ordered a set of combats in roasted curly maple for my Model 58. I have several more candidates as time goes on. A long barrel M-57, my K-22, that I bought in 1961 by saving my $$ ($81.00) from mowing lawns. I'm kinda in the hunt for others after my Model 1076 just sold for a decent price.

Wow Mudd, I'm amazed again. John & Jennifer hooked you up on another beautiful set. That's some serious decision making trying to figure out which gun to put what grips on. Enjoy!!

Yeah, I think they done me right on their grips too. I can't wait until I can get to the range and try the new grips out too, but right now I'm fighting a chest infection that has me feeling pretty punky. Hopefully in a few days I will be feeling better and will be able to make a range visit.

Get well soon and shoot those guns...

Chest infection? You need to change your brand of whiskey

Those hot toddies my wife fixed me last night with Knob Creek seemed to help a lot, Pete! I feel better today than yesterday.

Wow! That model 29-2 is a beauty (as are the others). We are glad you like the new Jatoba grips. The color adds a lovely warmth against the nickel. Thank you for sharing. Please send the Claro Walnut grips back to us for John to get those scratches out. Thank you!

After viewing these beautiful grips, I am going to have to contact my support group for an intervention!!!!

I like the 29-2 grip the best.

 

[OldChief]

Beautiful grips, you all know I'm a big fan of John and Jennifer. Be careful of Pete's suggestion concerning your medicine, too much will give you a BIG head ache!

 

[Breadman1]

Those are beauty's, I've only got fond butts, I'll have to get some for my square butt guns. I love these on my 19's.

I know which one of those I would prefer to shoot, and that's that lovely 45 colt. I thought it very nice indeed for them o offer to fix the dinged up set. I'll hold the gun for you until the repairs are made.

All 3 look beautiful though. I need to get a nice set for my 25-5 45 colt. Awesome looks. Congratulations!

That 25 is a -2 gun, so it's 45 ACP and not a 45 Colt, kraynky. But yes, it is one I really like to shoot and makes a great gun to bring to the range when I bring my custom ACW 1911 to the range. Both are laser accurate and I can experience either shooting a fine revolver or a fantastic semi auto with only bringing 1 ammo type to the range. One thing neat I found out last Tuesday at the range is that both the 1911 and that 25-2 put rounds over my chrono at essentially the same velocity. The 1911 has a 5" barrel and the 25 has a 6" barrel and recorded velocities with the same ammo were less than 10 ft/sec variation.
