When did the N frames go from square to round exclusively? Since I can't find a decent set of grips for my sq butt 629, I thought that I'd start looking for a RB model and put a set of X frame grips on it, thanks.
 
In 1995, the design of N frame revolvers changed from the well-known angular square butt type to the round butt type.
 
If you're not allergic to rubber, I've had good luck with Hogue monogrips. May even have a pair or two in the surplus box.
Thanks for the offer, but I'm looking for something that covers the back strap. My current 629 classic hunter came with Pachmayr Decellerator's, but they splayed out at the front seam behind the trigger guard.
I took the originals off and have a set of Hogue's on there now.
