I think the grips were traded out as the 617 no dash came with S&W combat grips that were discontinued at the 617-1 engineering change. A lot of sellers remove the combat grips and sell them seperately for between $150 and $250 depending on the color and grain in them and replace them with rubber grips or S&W magna grips.
