I ordered a couple of pairs of Hogue TAMER grips from S&W.
For the LANYARD RING type rubber stock screw shown below:
Call Hogue at 800 GET-GRIP (800 438-4747) or (805) 239-1440 ask for
part number 00128 Lanyard 1/2" (length) ring screw satin nickel
part number 00129 Lanyard 1" (length) ring screw satin nickel
I recommend that you order a couple of each as Hogue only makes a batch or two a year. These are not standard catalog items.
500 Magnum & 2 ¼” Lady Smith M frame .22 Long from 1913
The S&W Store sells the Hogue Tamer grips with the S&W Logo and so does Hogue of course with a Hogue Logo. Same exact grip. I do not know the price difference. I suspect S&W charges more. You have to call them to order them. I plan to do that tomorrow. When I do I will post the price so folks can see difference. In my case my Alaskan Backer IV should have come with S&W labeled Hogue Tamer grips. Although the original owner swears they came with Pacchmeyers. So I may spend a little more to have the as received configuration for the gun.

Jim and I thought you only owned J frames and smaller guns!
LOL
Oh no, my case of S&W "disease" is much more serious than that! In fact it covers all pre war size frames and all post war size frames except the Z frame Governor....at least so far.
When I bought Tamers from S&W about 2 years ago, they were $35/pair, same as Hogue's price. But as you posted with S&W logo.
OP
The Hogue Tamer Grips from S&W are $38 a pair. $3.75 for shipping
Hogue is charging $31.46 plus $11.82 for shipping.
So with shipping they are the same basically.
They will fit fine, and most of mine are so equipped.
One caveat, however, is that they won’t be tight on a K/L/X/Z frame after riding for a while on an N frame.
At ~$40, shipped, they’re considered a wear item on a big-bore gun.

The 500 Hogue "Tamer" rubber grips with Sorbatane will "work" on the 24-3, 624, 610, 625, and other N frames with true N size RB grip frames (with N size top width).
After riding on those N frames above for awhile they will stretch a bit, then fit a bit loose on the guns they're made for: K/L, X frame 500/460 Mag RB, the Z frame Governor, and 329, 325 N frames (with K/L size across the medallion area and at the knuckle).

OK....I must admit it. I would love that piece but just for .44 specials.

The answer to every bear gun/caliber thread. Issue closed
Yup, pretty much.
OP
I took the 329PD and my new to me 629-4 Classic Carry snubby to the range. The 329 weighs 26 Oz and the 629-4 weighs 33oz.
There was a noticeable difference in the snappiness of the 329. I did not find it terrible but wasn't the most pleasant things to shoot either. I would take it backpacking or hunting as a side arm anytime though.
It shoots point of aim at 10 yards. Both the short barrel x29s are very accurate, at least at distances I usually shoot at the indoor range.
I am pleased with this purchase.

Glad you are happy with your new purchase.
The older I get, the more I go to shorter barrel guns - I think it's a deteriorating strength issue. Any way, much easier for me to shoot for any length of time.
I think you ment 43 oz, not 33 oz for your 629-4.
Enjoy!

Paul you are correct it is 42 OZ for the 629-4 3" per our kitchen scale. The 329PD is a full pound lighter!
