Why no wooden Colt grips

[TDM]

Well I'm sure it's no shock to all of you but I just found out that the wood grip for an 1851 Uberti will not work on a 1851 Pietta. I did find a grip at Taylors and ordered it but I'm sure ?I'll be getting a next email telling me there are on backordered even though it says in stock.

The Uberti one piece grips will work on the Pietta, but you have to remove an 1/8" or so of the top of the grip were lt meets the receiver. I ordered the same $13 grip, comes unfinished and rough. I had taken the one piece grips off my Uberti Leech & Rigdon to try on my Pietta 1851. I saw that a slight amount of wood removal would work. But in the meantime, I made my own grips and I'm happy with it. The DGW Uberti grips are just sitting in the work bench.

I have had unengraved plain .36 Pietta cylinders on backorder from Taylor's since 2020
