The factory combats are #1 with me also as far as looks since I have never held a gun with them. There are some on GB for a N Frame rb with a buy now of $750. As for currently made aftermarket grips I like Ahrends because they look & feel good & are priced reasonably. I do wish they would come with the S&W medallions.
I too like the Ahrend's...haven't found any factory S&W stocks I like...combats, target, magna, etc. Here are some Ahrends Tactical with finger groove in cordia on 627-7. Fit my hands (size 11 glove) well:
