N Frame Grip help
I have large hands and nothing fits better than N frame target grips ........ But i purchased a 625 and would like to put factory targets on the gun. I’m looking for someone who can make me a filler piece of wood to fill in the area exposed on the round butt frame with the square butt grips thanks everyone for looking.

I can understand your dilemma. Have you tried round to square conversion target grips from other manufacturers?

You probably want to retain factory target grips. I would too. I've made a few filler pieces like you need, it's not difficult.
Might take a few tries, but you could do it. It's not too hard to find a pair or a single grip that's chipped or otherwise too worn to use, very cheap.
Cut out a rough wedge shape oversize with a jig saw with the grain going up and down. Flat sand to the thickness of your grip frame. Glue to the inside of one grip while it's installed on the grip frame, Put some blue masking tape on the surface of the grip to protect the finish, File down the outside surface of the wedge until it's close to the grip surface, then sand down flush with the grip's taped surface ending with 800 to 1000 grit paper. Coat with Birchwood Casey's True Oil and your done.
You may find a grip maker here on this forum to make one for you. If no one responds with a suggested maker, change your thread title to Need Gripmaker.

Have you contacted any of the members on this forum that make grips yet?

I was also exploring this option - same gun, too !
While the rear filler piece seems like it would work, what about the front of the grip area?

I was just overthinking it. There’s no need for support, much like when using the Sq J Targets with a round-butt gun.
