My S&W 629-1: Round or Square Butt?

**marks** · March 14th, 2011, 01:36 AM

Comparing the two options when looking at grips makes it seem to me that it's a round butt N Frame, but I want to be certain before ordering grips. I'd like to get some nice wood grips on it. Confirmation please?

Thanks!

And yes, I realize it's missing a rear sight (bought it that way). I've currently got a WTB post here, and am looking at Gunbroker as well. It's no longer available through Smith & Wesson (or anywhere else new, for that matter).

Can't tell from your picture since Pachmayr Grippers look the same for both RB & SB. If I had to guess, I'd say square, but if you simply take the grips off and compare with the picture below, it will be self evident...

Adios,

Thanks Bob! I'm glad I checked. It's a square butt.
