My Eagle grips fit fine on my recent-production 627; however, the gun looked like it had been rattling around in a tool drawer for a while -- so I sent it back to S&W and they refinished it on their dime.

It's a GREAT shooter with Ahrends Retro Combats; I'm probably going to install my pair of Nill-Griffe Combat grips for the next range session.
