nuts trying to make something fit on my 625-9.
Unfortunately, they are confused as well. Please recognize we are not talking about a great deal of difference here. They may get away with it with their wrap around rubber grips by just cinching them up tight. I can also squeeze my X frame "Tamer" factory rubber Hogues over my 624 N frame Rd Butt too.

But ask them if they ever put a pair of N frame RB wood panels on a 329 PD, for example, the wood will over hang the frame at the top of the backstrap. Just like they would on a K/L/or X frame.
