[QUOTE="zipty6, post: 3978660, member: 19401"] I don't think there are any wood "factory" round-to-square conversion grips, other than J frame targets and the style found on pre-war I frames like the Regulation Police. Generally speaking, in the era of "factory" wood stocks the round butt frames were used on revolvers with barrels under 4." The idea was that shorter barreled revolvers were intended to be concealed. Anything 4" or longer had square butts. There were a few exceptions, such as the 3" square butt model 10-7. The elimination of the square butt frames happened in the era of factory guns being primarily sold wearing rubber grips. The inclusion of wood round/square conversion grips from the factory is relatively new to Smith & Wesson. S&W contracts third parties to make them. The majority are made by Altamont. You can often buy the exact grips from the Altamont website, lacking the S&W medallions. All this being said, the usual disclaimer applies: There are very few "givens" with S&W. As soon as consensus is reached that S&W never did "something" an example of that very thing will appear. [/QUOTE]
