Just got these in from John Culina, aka "Kurac" on the S&W forum. They're made from antique linear paper micarta I bought from Sheffield's knife supply. They fit my S&W M29-5 Classic 5" 44 Magnum just perfectly:   I had John make these with his version of the old S&W "coke" profile; makes for a very comfortable grip. |

Best thing to do is order a block of micarta from Sheffield's and send it to Culina. The block I ordered was 10x12", 1 1/8" thick and was enough for three sets of target grips and a set of magna grips.

My favorite 29 and the Micarta grips look great! Nice combo, BBQ or Wedding gun, assuming you're not the father of the bride!

Beautiful! And one of the best iterations of the N-frame ever devised.

Thanks Craig, I'm really liking them. So much so that I have sent John another block of micarta so that he can make me three pairs of N-frame magna grips.

What did you order? John just finished three pairs of N-frame target grips for me, and he said the magnas would be a few months away.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing them. I got my second block of micarta from Sheffield's today; they're a good outfit to do business with. Very fast shipping. Sending it down to John tomorrow with instructions to make two sets of magna grips with S&W medallions.

Does he only do S&W grips? I'll be looking for a set for my Bisley soon.

So far as I know he only does S&W grips. I wouldn't mind having a set of my Bisley's as well.

I know he makes Python and 1911 grips. Last time I was in his shop (about a year ago) he was talking about setting up to make Ruger plow handle grips. I asked him about Redhawk grips, and he said there wasn't enough demand.
Beautiful grips and gun oregon45!!
