Diana RWS Diana P5 Magnum

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Just acquired this Diana P5 Magnum. I have had many Diana pistols over the decades. The German made ones are disappearing. Mostly China these days. Being a lefty I have always hated the plastic right hand grip panels Diana used on their pistols. I prefer an ambidextrous (wood) grip as I switch hands to cock and load then switch back to shoot. I had left hand, wood match grips decades ago and didn’t like them at all. Very uncomfortable when cocking and loading. So, I finally made wood grips. Bolivian Rosewood. Fits my extra large hands good. Looks better than plastic to. IMHO

As a woodworker, I approve! Beautifully done with a nice piece of rosewood.

Update:
I replaced the brass screws with black steel ones. Stronger and better looking with wood I think.
