Let's See Those Grips!
i have two 686's a 4" and a 6" - also have a 6" 629 - and lastly a 1980 4" Python that i'm looking to get wood grips for - right now i'm looking at some Hogue wood grips and some from a company called Badger Custom - i thought it would be cool to see what some of you guys are using as far as wood grips - i know i will be going with finger grooves but i'd like to see what some of you have done - LET'S SEE THOSE GRIPS!
her's where i'm at with what i'm looking at - the first two are for the 686's - third one is for the Colt - have nothing for the 629 yet as i have to figure out what frame it has square or round

Remove the stocks from the Model 629 and it should be easy to tell if the N frame has a round or square frame. Here is a sample of each. The square frame is the stainless revolver.

While I’m partial to factory wood like the combats on my M66, you can’t go wrong with anything from Culina (use the search function).

Smith's "Combat" grips..... for me ....... felt good in the hand until I put them on a gun..... they all seemed to push my little finger to far from my ring finger making the grip feel wrong, less secure. For the cost today; see if you can try a set before buying....................
For me Spegal Boot and Extended Boot grips are prefect and I've been using them since the mid-80s...... problem today is the 2 year backlog.

Those are very attractive grips! Two questions: Assuming those are Hogue Top Groove grips, how have you found them to function? Second, what wood are those?
Thanks!

I don't have a 629 but my 29-2 wears its factory Coke Bottle Grips.
I liked them soo much I asked a good friend to find me a really nice set for my 6.5" M-27.
Which he did. They are perfect. They are like brand new. 
I have smooth Combats on my 640-1 and think they are perfect for the gun.
I have smooth Combats for my 66-1,
I prefer these well worn Targets off a 68-2 that I sold because my brother carried this one the first 10 years that he was in law enforcement. I do have the Hogue Monogrips that were on it and I don't have the factory Targets for it. 
I also like these smooth Presentation grips on my 5" M-27-2.

Am I weird because I like the stock S&W target and presentation grips? I'll admit if I am going to shoot a lot I'll put on a set of Pachymars but for visual appeal I'll take factory targets or presentation grips every time

Nope, you're not weird at all.
I too prefer factory grips over aftermarket and Targets are my favorite.

That is a hard act to follow, @rubiranch. Especially the 640-1 with the combat grips. I have been gradually replacing the mixed bag of grips on my revolvers with factory grips. If and when I can find something close, it is usually thanks to other forum members and the classifieds, and occasionally ebay.
My Model 67 with smooth target grips, acquired separately here earlier this year (and much apreciated btw). According to the SCSW book, the smooth Goncalvo Alves target stocks with "extractor relief cut" were used from 1967 to about 1980, so they are period correct for the Model 67 which dates to 1972.
Below my 60-1, with banana grips, probably 1980's vintage.
This was the first time I used the S&W banana grips on a J-Frame and they feel much better than I expected.

The 629 with the round bottom grips is mine and the Rossi 720 with the target grips belongs to the wife.
The 629 with the flat-bottom grips (round to square conversion) are the first set I bought for that pistol - fired about 50 rounds at the range with those grips and changed them out. They just didn't fit my hand, especially my middle finger which kept impinging on the trigger guard (painfully). They are Altamonts with Spanish checkering and silver medallions and I love the look of them but not the shape in my hand so I am looking to sell them.
