Any Clue What S&W They Fit?

[ratrodfink]

I bought a set of grips for a j-frame revolver off of eBay and when they arrived they weren't cut properly to fit my 642. Anyone have a clue what they will fit?

S&W grips come in "round butt" and "square butt" versions. I think most the J-frames are round. It looks like those grips should fit.

Mine is square I guess so I assume they fit a round butt.

The top rear portion of the grips have to be cut square in the middle to fit a 642. These are cut in a curve

A picture of the inside of the grips would be helpful. Looking at those again they do look like round butt.

This is why they won't fit the 642

Interesting. When I bought my 642, I asked on the S&W nut forum and was told that all J-Frame round butt grips are the same.

ETA: I just dug through my box of grips and all of the S&W factory J-Frame grips in there have the square cut. I don't know why that set would be rounded. I'd just use a bit of sandpaper and square out the opening.

I can't make out much from the pic of why they don't fit. Maybe they are just badly made? They look like round butt grips.

Thanks all for your replies and for taking a look. A little Dremel finesse and here we go:
