N Frame Round to Square Conversion Grips

[Souvergn41]

Guys need some help. I’m looking for “higher” end round to square conversion grips for my 627-3. I have Culinas on order now but just looking for an additional option. They need to be wood. No rubber. Any ideas? I just can’t warm to the round butt on an N frame. Thanks.

Look on ebay. Lots of choices.

Hogue has many to choose from. I have them on my 625JM and my 686-6 Pro Series. Work well for me. Bob

Here is a picture of some Altamont grips with the "Spanish Diamond" pattern I used to have on my 629. Unfortunately, they just don't fit my hand well so they have been sitting in a box ever since. I only shot about 50 rounds before I decided I didn't like them - but they do look good!

With the addition of a spacer, any square butt stock can be made into a conversion stock.

I'm a big fan of the Eagle Heritage grips. But they do take 3-8 weeks now to get.

I have a set of Ahrend’s that fit my hand very well. Since Kim closed his business they have become “high end” but can be found at times on eBay.

Nill Griffe are an excellent choice. You can get different styles (combat, target, thumbrest, orthopedic) ,and open or close backstrap

Thanks guys for all the feedback. Search begins.

Another vote for the Eagle Heritage - if you are looking for something factory style anyways. I have a set on a 57 Mountain Gun.

Hard to argue that. Jennifer said mine are actually ready. I did the combats in Clark walnut. Haven’t seen them yet though.

As someone else stated, you'll have to find them on eBay but Ahrends are pretty nice. Picked up these Retro Combat conversions a couple years ago.

Very nice Jcon72. I like the angularity of sorts.

I am very fond of the Hogues. These are Tulip wood

Since I always get my Hogues without the finger grooves I often need to order what I want and wait for them.

Back when I was working the SHOT show each year, I would visit the Hogue booth and select 4 of 5 grips to get from them when they tore down the booth.

They usually selected very good looking grain patterns to bring for display. When you order them, it is the luck of the draw. Hogue has been very good to me over the decades going all the way back to when I first met Guy Hogue at SHOT in Dallas. I think it was 1989

I still have 3 Round to Square Hogue grips waiting for me to find revolvers for them

As an example of what they bring to show off, I know it is hard to believe, but these are Goncalo Alves grips that were on display back in 2008. I loved the unusual grain pattern and had them marked for me so I could replace the plastic grips that SIG shipped on this P239

Agreed, on a 29-5 5"

I like this seller on EBay. vitoonmakers. Fit and finish are great. I have several sets on guns I own.

 

[muddocktor]

Yeah, for finger groove grips the Ahrends Retro Combats aren't bad. I have a set of them on my 627 Pro.


Of course the Culina round to square stocks are even nicer. Here's a set of Italian Olive on my 629=3 Classic.

My Model 29-6 came with the usual snow tire grips. I do not like round-butt N frames. I had a set of smooth N frame "Presentation" grips for a square butt revolver, so I made a spacer out of a scrap of maple, and then painted it gloss black and lightly glued it in place. The spacer could easily be removed if desired, yet stays in place.

Those look mighty familiar.
