Here are 3 pictures to give a little perspective
The first one shows the original grips compared to the ones I have on it.
The second one is the Hogue Monogrips compared to the ones I have on it.
The third one is a set of Uncle Mike's 3-finger boot grips compared to the ones I have on it.

BTW, I guess these don't really have a longer trigger reach than the Hogues - for some reason I was thinking the Hogues were open backstrap, but when I pulled them out to take these photos I discovered they aren't. So the ones I put on it are actually about the exact same size as the Hogues.
Here's one more picture to show it in scale to a J frame. Mine is not the titanium frame version, but is dimensionally the same. My one serious complaint about the 617 is grip choice. It's a unique grip and there's only two or three options, none of which are all that great IMO. The stock grip would be ok but it's actually not very rubber-y but is kind of slick. I may end up making my own grips for it out of desperation.
