Here is my 629 with Ahrend's grips. Fairly compact for carry.
There are also N frame Pachmayr Compac grips out there that are quite small. Not sure they still make them, but I got a set from eBay recently.
The Ahrends grip works fine with 44 Special, and it conceals well, but I wouldn't want to shoot a lot of full boat 44 Mag with these small hard wood grips.
