Sounds like we all need to get a "grip" on this grip situation.LOL.
Looks like we've got K/L/X and newer round butt N's taking the same grips unless it's a special round butt N then it takes standard round butt N frame grips, is that about it?

"...unless it's a special round butt N [or pre 1996 standard production] then it takes standard round butt N frame grips, is that about it?" Correct as edited.

Grips
Do the K,L,X, RB conversion SB synthetic rubber finger grove grips feel like the 617 SB synthetic rubber finger grove grips?

Welcome to the forum.
Just to clarify, presuming you're talking about the same brand grips, in my opinion yes. But that is probably a personal decision and you should make your own comparison. Let us know what you decide.

what a headache.
Someone needs to create a "grip matrix" with the different grip types (wood, rubber, hogue, ahrends, round, square, factory, etc) across the top and all the different frame types (X, N, K, L, Round, Square) down the side and fill in the intersection boxes with go, no-go, maybe, or you can jam it on there but it'll look like a dog's a**. Then have a Mod sticky the sumbiotch for permanent reference
just my $.02 worth

Tamer Grips
I'm using the X-Frame Tamer Grip on a 686+
Form (Fit and Finish)? Eh h... I'd give it a B or B-
Function? ... AWESOME!! A++
I haven't posted much HERE so I will assume that most or all of you don't know this, but I only ever shoot with just my left hand because my right arm is paralyzed permanently due to an extremely serious injury that occurred while over seas.
I love firearms though, especially now post injury, shooting became a huge passion since my return and throughout my slow rehabilitation.
I use the Hogue X-Frame Tamer Grip (#29467?) because I'm convinced it affords me much greater one handed control when shooting HOT loads of .357!
The fit admittedly isn't perfect, below what I would prefer but then again I'm being unfair here because it was designed for another firearm!
It certainly installs properly by all means, there are no concerns in that regard, it slides right on and looks great! I simply point out that the area designed as cushioning around the frame that's located at the web of your hand, between thumb and pointer finger, well that rubber isn't molded quite as tight to the frame as stock grip would be but it is only a very minor difference and only a perfectionist would ever even mention it.
Its minor, it could even just be mine! Certainly a great cushion effect though!! I WONT be going back!
This is probably because the X frame and N frame are both a bit wider than my 686 L-frame but don't quote me because I could just as easily be wrong or mistaken.
Anyway I would give the "fit" a mid-grade but the quality of solution, excellent function, grip-ability, accuracy improvement, recoil dampening, etc, all get an A++ !!
Love the forum her folks, get yourself a tamer grip for your K or L frame!
I love using mine!

Just to add less (or more) confusion here about the Model 500 Impact Absorbing Hogue Square Butt Conversion Grips 29467. Those fit K & L great, fill the hand more, & definitely absorb some of the recoil (they cover the backstrap completely).
BUT- even though they are Hogue they are NOT available from, or listed at, Hogue , & they not available from Hogue aftermarket suppliers as they are only available direct from S&W or from S&W OEM part suppliers. (it seems S&W holds the rights to the 29467 grips.
