N- frame round butt.

I don't have the SCSW at hand but I believe all N frames went to round butts in the 1990s.
 
For many years, Smith & Wesson ONLY made round butts. So you can find just about every modern revolver with a RB

It was not until the early to mid 2000s (After S&W ownership was brought back to America) that the square butts slowly returned to the lineup.
 
Model 29s and 629s with 3 inch barrels almost all had round butts. Then in 1990 the classic full underlug 629 had a round butt. In 97 everything went to a smooth round butt where the previous frames were serrated.
 
Both of my 610's are RB's. One is a 5" made in 1989-1990, and the other is a new 4" bought last year.
