Ah, that's better!

[Rolan_Kraps]

A few months ago, I bought some Altamont Round to Square conversion grips for my N-Frame S&W 625. I feel and shoot great, but the big grips just didn't look right on the 3" barrel.

So I took those grips off and put them on my 4", 10mm 610.

I then ordered some S&W Performance Center grips. These are Altamont as well (you can tell from the markings inside). Thanks to Stainz for tipping me off to these! I think they look better on the 3" gun. What do you think?

Rolan,

Both of the changes you made hit the ball out of the park as far as I'm concerned.

 

[RychenCop]

they both look great.

 

[Geronimo Jim]

You done good! Two beauties!

 

[CWH44300]

they look great. the grips you have on the 4" are sweet I have a 8.325" 629 DX that came with them , very comfortable

 

[bigmoose]

All in very good taste...those look great. It's good to see that there are some really nice aftermarket WOOD grips out there to complement our S&W wheelguns. Well done, thanks for the pics.

Rolan, where on the S&W site do you go to to find those S&W Performance Center grips? I can't find them.

Thanks

P.S. Both look great, but that 3" has me drooling.

 

[stmry]

i do not think you could have done better. They both look great.

 

[XTrooper]

Outstanding job, Rolan. It looks like you made two very good choices.

Rolan, where on the S&W site do you go to to find those S&W Performance Center grips? I can't find them.

Thanks

are they in here somewhere?

 

[DocGlock]

Thanks RychenCop, but I've looked there already and there's nothing close to as good looking as Rolan's PC grips.

 

[Rolan_Kraps]

The grips are not on the S&W website. You have to call the Performance center and order them by phone. The number is 1-800-331-0852 #2905

You want to order the 'N RD WALNUT FOR PERF CENTER' grips part number #41417 0000. I think with shipping they were about $57.

I've only dry fired the gun, but it feels great. Not so much a "round to square" as a "round to rounded square-ish".

Rolan,
They look very good Sir, you done the right thing. Where did you get your PC stocks at?

 

[DocGlock]

Thanks Rolan, that's exactly what I needed to know. That's a great price for some really great looking grips.

 

[Jim Kuykendall]

Good choice either way. Both are winners.

 

[Stainz]

Wow, Rolan - they do both look great - and 'proper' - good going!

One minor point - these are the replacement grips I put on my 2 5/8" PC627 UDRs - they aren't stock on the UDR's. The stock UDR grips are Eagle boot grips - too small for me. These #414170000 'N RD WALNUT FOR PERF CENTER' grips are for something else. Whatever they were made for, they are a bargain. Check the screw when you get them - one set I got came with a screw 3/16" too long - they corrected that. Nice grips - I shot ~200 rounds from one of my UDR's with them on it yesterday - perfect balance!

PS A 3" 625 just looks 'right' - especially with those grips!

 

[Rolan_Kraps]

Thanks Stainz,

I fixed the reference.

 

[luangtom]

Outstanding, sir. NE GA has some fine looking revolvers......

 

[LesterPTelestrat]

I'm about to order the Rosewood combat grips for my 627. Thanks for the pics they look much better than on the S&W site.

 

[Rolan_Kraps]

Wow, this gun now has a new name! THUMPER! These grips increase felt recoil MUCH more than the square conversion.

By the end of the session, they were feeling better, but that may be because I was going numb. There is a hole in the web of my hand now.

After I heal I will try it again.
