Default Question on the new Model 24 , 3"

I was just online admiring the Square butt grips on the new 3" barrel model 24.
The technical specs say the stocks are SB but do not specify if the actual frame is Round or Square.
Wondering if anyone here owns one and can advise what style frame they have under those grips?

I have the older 24-3, 3" Round butt with combat grips and would like to find a pair of N frame RB to SB medallion classic style Magnas like the new 24 is wearing.
Unfortunately RB to SB N Magnas are not offered on the website.
I know other brands exist to convert it but I like the classic S&W medallion look.

At least if I know these fit I can be on the lookout for a pair.
Also, Does anyone know who is making the S&W classic series grips?
I have a feeling they are being outsourced.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Not sure who makes those stocks, but once you get them in hand, I think they'll disappoint. They almost don't feel like real wood.

As far as I know S&W does not make grips anymore. I have never seen a magna round butt to square conversion grip such as the one you are looking for. I agree with what westkybanded said about the new grips, some are like plywood and others look and feel like compressed sawdust and are not durable at all. I have a new M-24 Classic and its a tackdriver, first thing I did was to remove the awfull grips, stuck them in the box and replaced them with an older set of targets.

Default Pics of RB converted to SB N frames

Thank you for the heads up,
I also have only seen RB to SB larger target sized conversion grips.
The new Model 24 must be a square butt gun in which case I will have to go another route.

I am trying to get some ideas if anyone has an N frame RB wearing SB conversion grips they would like to show off ...

Here are the 24-3 and 29-3 with factory combat RB grips.


Same guns Wearing SB diamond Magnas just for fun (they dont actually fit):


RB 29-3 and RB 24-3 Above SB models 28-2 and SB Pre 27 :
