Here is the square conversion non fg grips on my L-frame 696 and the 617 with the retro targets for comparison.



And, finally, another K-frame - a 4" 64 - with rounded Hogues in goncalo alves and fg's compared to the retro targets on the 617.



I hope this helps!

Stainz, your photos helped me a bunch. After viewing yours I too will go with the Ahrends 'retro targets'.

I called their contact number earlier today and the gentleman I spoke with was extra courteous and helpful.

Thanks for helping me decide !!
