First, a little information for Smith & Wesson Revolver owners who aren’t used to Smith & Wesson Frame terminology. Not many people readily know the difference between a Square Butt Grip Frame and a Round Butt Grip frame, so here is a photo illustrating both, and thanks to the folks on Firing Line forum for this photo:

Description: Description: SWBUTTS

Now. Even fewer people recognize the Smith & Wesson Frame sizes. Around World War II, Smith & Wesson named their frame sizes by letter. The J frame is for smaller revolvers, also known as the .32 Frame after the .32 Hand Ejector early models and ancestors. Small frame rimfire revolvers are known as M frame, but their grip frame is the same size as the J frame. Few square butt J and M frame revolvers, if any, have been produced since about 1995; in fact, few square butt framed revolvers of any description have been produced since then. J and M frame Smith & Wesson Revolvers include models 30, 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 40, 42, 48, 60, 63, 637, 638, 640, 642, 650, 651, and the 3- prefix Air Light variants of those models.

          The K Frame is the Medium, or .38, frame size, descended from the 1905 Hand Ejector .38 Special. K frame is still in production. K frame models include 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 64, 65, 66, and 67. The Model 12 is an Airweight, or Lightweight K frame revolver, but its grip frame is thinner than its steel counterpart the Model 10, and grips from the Model 10 and other K frames often have to be tediously modified to fit a model 12. Labor for a professional job, for instance, of modifying standard Round or Square Butt Magna type service grips to fit a Model 12 can run anywhere from $25 to $50 labor alone.

          The L Frame revolvers were introduced in 1980, in order to give a strengthened frame configuration and to successfully compete with the Colt Python. L Frames have the same grip frame size as their K frame counterparts. Prior to the mid 1990s, all L frame revolvers with 4 inch or longer barrels had square butt grip frames, and the 2 1/2 inch and 3 inch barreled variants were round butt. Nowadays, all current production L Frames are round butt grip frame. L frame models include 581, 586, 681, 686, and many of the Air Light and Night Guard variants with numeral 3 model prefix.

          The N, or large, or .44 frame revolvers descend from the early predecessors of the famous Model of 1917 that was chambered in .45 caliber. N frame numbered models include 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 57, 58 and their stainless steel versions with numeral 6 prefix. Most of the small big bore Air Lite models that Smith & Wesson has produced since around the turn of the Millennium have a K round grip frame.

          In our low tech way, we list our grips by our stock number, usually just a GR prefix in front of a factory SKU number; then any photos we have; and then the description text and price for each grip. This page is not comprehensive; we try our best to keep onesy twosy grips up on Guns America at least.

Most Smith & Wesson Revolvers manufactured after 1996 have Round Butt Grip Frames. Almost all the N Frame, Large Frame Revolvers manufactured prior to that date had square butt grip frames. Here are correctly configured replacement grips for any Smith & Wesson N frame or Double Action M&P Large Frame Revolver with Square Butt Grip Frame Only, like the Model 1917, Model of 1950 .44 Special, and many others. These are dark stained checkered walnut, very attractive. We found these in an old Southern warehouse, and we believe they were manufactured by Sile some time in the 1970s. Grip screw and escutcheon are blue milled steel. These will not fit round butt variants; if you’re not sure which yours is, please see the comparative photo we have included. We’re offering these fine grips, the ones in the photos or their identical mates, by the set  for only                       $ 39.00.

This listing is for one set of Herrett’s Cocobolo Grips. Buyers, however, may take any number of extra small light items with no additional shipping charges. Mr. Steve Herrett and his family and workers have long produced excellent custom grade grips for many handguns; we know them best for their contributions to our Smith & Wessons. Here are some attractive and properly configured grips to fit Smith & Wesson N Frame Revolvers with Square Butt Grip Frame Only, manufactured before 1995, when S&W changed all its N Frames to Round Butt. Please see the comparative photo if you aren’t sure whether your Smith & Wesson is a round or square butt variant. These are Herrett's Extra Fancy Cocobolo exotic wood with inlaid Smith & Wesson logo. Configuration is thinner-than-original Target with double recess that easily accommodates speedloader use for right handed shooters. Replacement pricing on a new or mint set of Factory Grips from the period of production runs as much as $200 per set. We're offering these excellent, attractive grips, the ones in the photos or their substantially identical mates, each            for only           $ 59.00.

Most Smith & Wesson Revolvers manufactured after 1996 have Round Butt Grip Frames. If you aren’t sure which yours is, please see the comparative photo.  Sile brand grips have been around for most of our lifetimes. This is their glossy finished Italian Walnut Combat Grips for Smith & Wesson K or L Frame Square Butt revolvers. These are very attractive genuine walnut grips, brand new and never installed. They are in the comfortable and distinctive Finger Groove Combat configuration, but with checkered panel centers for optimal control, that in addition to their attractiveness. These will fit any .22, .32, .38, or .357 Smith & Wesson revolver so long as it is medium frame and has a true square butt grip frame. The Nixon Era model 66 in the photo is a good illustration. Almost all Square Butt K or L Frame Smith & Wessons were manufactured prior to 1996, and models included are 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 64, 65, 66, 67, 581, 586, 681, and 686. Note the configuration of the left panel’s upper area; these will accommodate HKS and Safariland Speedloaders. We’re offering these fine grips, genuine Italian Walnut and period correct for any Smith & Wesson manufactured between about 1962 and 1995, each             for only           $ 39.00.

Here are attractively checkered Uncle Mike’s hard rubber grip panels to fit the Smith & Wesson 469 and 669 Mini Pistols, manufactured in the 1980s only. These are brand new in bulk packs, manufactured by Michaels of Oregon for Smith & Wesson during the Reagan Years, and surplus since Smith & Wesson introduced the 6900 type pistols in 1988. We found them in an old Southern warehouse, and they have been cleaned and repackaged, but never installed or scoured or used in any way. These are excellent panels, and they do not add any significant thickness to the 469 and 669 Pistols, just better traction on those small 9mms.

Most Smith & Wesson Revolvers manufactured after 1996 have Round Butt Grip Frames. If you aren’t sure which yours is, please see the comparative photo.  From an old Southern Warehouse where they’ve been sitting for many years come these excellent Sile Thumb Rest Target Grips for Smith & Wesson K and L Frame Square Butt Revolvers. They are very attractive semi-gloss finished Italian Walnut, imported exclusively by Sile in the 1970s and early 1980s. All these are in their original white cardboard boxes, all manufactured before the advent of the L Frame since it is not mentioned in the model enumeration on the end of the box. All these grips, the ones in the photos and their identical mates, are brand new in boxes, but since they are so old, they have faint dullness to their edges, simply from age. Box marking is No. 7 / K- TR, for K frame Thumb Rest; and Model enumeration is K 22, K 32, K 38, and 38 M&P Sq. Butt. These grips are collectable in their own right, but they are period appropriate for any Smith & Wesson K or L Frame Square Butt revolvers, since these grips were actively marketed from the early 1960s until the mid 1980s. Models include 10, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 64, 65, 66, 67, 581, 586, 681, and 686 but with Square Butt Grip frames Only. Note that these will not accommodate speedloaders, the thumbrest on the left panel prevents that. We’re offering them by the set        each     for only                       $ 39.00.

Most Smith & Wesson Revolvers manufactured after 1996 have Round Butt Grip Frames. If you aren’t sure which yours is, please see the comparative photo.  In the mid to late 1970s, Smith & Wesson marketed only a few smooth-contoured Rosewood Target Stocks for the K Frame Revolvers. They were quite pricey at the time, 35 years ago, in the $30 per set range. There were never many issued, and most of them went on revolvers like the Texas Ranger 19s and Special Order 66s. Here was their slightly-less-pricey competitor, the Sile Rosewood Smooth Target grips. These are still in their 1970s yellow boxes, even though the boxes are somewhat frayed with age. All these are brand new grips, but due to their age there is some occasional slight dulling to their finish. Grip screws and escutcheons are stainless, and only exhibit faint toning at places. These grips are period appropriate for any classic Smith & Wesson K or L Frame Square Butt revolver manufactured from the late 1960s all the way up to the discontinuance of the Square Butt Grip frames around 1995. Models they will fit include models 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 64, 65, 66, 67, 581, 586, 681, and 686, square butt grip frame only like the Nixon Era model 66 in the photos. These grips with their boxes are collectable in their own right, whether a person even has a revolver or not. They will not accommodate speedloaders, note the configuration of the left panel with a thumb rest recess only. Some of them we’ve used require some internal fitting where the frame’s butt area rivet fits in, not a big deal at all. We’re offering them in their original yellow Sile Boxes, each     for only           $ 49.00.

Most Smith & Wesson Revolvers manufactured after 1996 have Round Butt Grip Frames. If you aren’t sure which yours is, please see the comparative photo.  It was not until the mid 1980s that Smith & Wesson fully began accommodating speedloaders in their grip manufacturing process. Here are some brand new specimens of the oversize target stocks that we sold a good many of from the late 1970s until the mid 1990s, to old-head shooters and police officers who used speedloaders but did not cotton to the black rubber Pachmayrs and Hogues on the market. These are Sile brand grips, genuine Italian Walnut and machine checkered. Their slightly raised palmswells enable sure gripping and their uppers are low enough contour to accommodate speedloader use on the left panel. Of crucial importance, they are attractive grips. All these are brand new grips, but due to their age there is some occasional slight dulling to their finish. Grip screws and escutcheons are stainless, and only exhibit faint toning at places. These grips are period appropriate for any classic Smith & Wesson K or L Frame Square Butt revolver manufactured from the late 1960s all the way up to the discontinuance of the Square Butt Grip frames around 1995.

These grips are collectable in their own right, whether a person even has a revolver or not. Some of them we’ve used require some internal fitting where the frame’s butt area rivet fits in, not a big deal at all.

This listing is for One set of Hogue Grips. Buyers, however, may take any number of extra small light items with no additional shipping charges. Please see the grip frame photo if you aren’t sure whether you have a square butt grip frame or a round butt on your Smith & Wesson K or L Frame Revolver. Here is the closest thing available to the classic Smith & Wesson factory Finger Groove Combat Stocks of the 1980s, Hogue’s Exotic Hardwood, Goncalo Alves grips. Hogues are, nostalgia aside, thinner contoured and even more attractive than the factory originals. Finish is hand buffed carnauba wax, very durable and attractive. These grips will fit any of the following models, but only the square butt grip frame variants, most of which were manufactured prior to 1996: Models 10 13 14 15 17 18 19 64 65 66 581 586 681 and 686. A set of the original S&W Combats commands prices upwards of $150 per set.

Here is a favorite style of Finger-Grooved Combat grips from the mid 1970s that has not been superseded or underpriced since it hit the market during that decade: the Sile Walnut combat grips, #SILJC, for the Smith & Wesson J frame Chief’s Special Revolvers like models 36, 60, 640, 637, 317PD, 351PD, and 340PD. Not only are these grips period appropriate even for pinned-barrel vintage Chief’s Specials like our R- prefix model 60s that we try so hard to acquire; they are smooth enough for easy drawing and re-pocketing, and the additional 5/8 inch at the forward point of their butt area gives firm manageability during recoil even from a 360 or 340 Magnum. Buyer will receive the grips in the photo or one of their identical mates. More notable, perhaps, these are attractive grips, genuine walnut with medium depth checkering and enough space for the remaining three fingers even for fat boys like our photographer. They are strikingly similar to the shortly-produced Smith & Wesson Banana Combat Grips from the late 1970s and early 1980s. We happily found only a few sets of these on closeout status in an old Southern warehouse. Own a set of Sile J-Round Premier Finger Groove Combat Grips, brand new in their original factory labeled bag, for only         $ 39.00.

Most Smith & Wesson Revolvers manufactured after 1996 have Round Butt Grip Frames. If you aren’t sure which yours is, please see the comparative photo.  The Smith & Wesson Company is keenly aware of their products’ historical significance. They continue to offer service and parts for many of their handguns whose age is approaching as much as 75 years old. Here is their currently, but sparingly, produced service grips for any K or L square butt grip frame revolver. That includes Models 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 45, 48, 56, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 581, 586, 617, 648, 681 and 686 in square butt grip frame only, mostly manufactured prior to 1996. Model 12 owners may need a substantial amount of fitting, since many of the Model 12s have thinner-than-normal grip frames. Material is S&W Dymondwood: durable, weather-resistant brown laminate, flatter than the originals but with the same outline and checkering patterns. And the silver-plated factory S&W logo sits right where it always has. Escutcheons  are milled brass, and the screw is blue steel. Photo shows representatives, buyer will receive the ones in the photos or their substantially identical mates. We’re offering these fine grips per set, each      for only   $ 39.00.

This listing is for One Set of grips, the ones in the photos or their identical mates; winning buyer, however, may take any number of extras, as long as our supplies last, at the same per-set price and with no additional shipping charges. We have been very fortunate to run across a good many of the sidearms carried by the distinguished officers of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Among those handguns were a few dozen Smith & Wesson Model 67-1 revolvers, manufactured from 1977 until 1985. A few of the LASD 67s had pre-logo Pachmayr SK/L grips; most of them, however, had Hogue Monogrips. No sooner were the thousand some odd Model 67s issued, then, that the officers and armorers immediately installed aftermarket rubber grips. Photos show several specimens that LASD removed from their new revolvers, and these have been in storage for at least the past 25 years. These are all factory Smith & Wesson Goncalo Alves Magna Style service grips for any K or L square butt grip frame revolver. That includes Models 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 45, 48, 56, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 581, 586, 617, 648, 681 and 686 in square butt grip frame only, mostly manufactured prior to 1996. Model 12 owners may need a substantial amount of fitting, since many of the Model 12s have thinner-than-normal grip frames. Material is Brazilian Goncalo, checkered on the classic pattern that was in production from the mid 1960s until the mid 1990s. And the silver-plated factory S&W logo sits right where it always has. Escutcheons  are milled brass, and the screw is stainless steel. Surface detractions are negligible, faint occasional scours like the grips show in the photo. Since none of them have more than 10 percent of their surfaces affected, we classify them all as Excellent Condition, never issued. Photo shows representatives, buyer will receive the ones in the photos or their substantially identical mates, and photos should serve to confirm our assessment of condition. There have not been any of these grips manufactured for over ten years now, and there will never be any more made. We’re offering these fine grips per set, each           for only   $ 45.00.

Here is Hogue's contribution to the lately discontinued Smith & Wesson 6900 series of pistols. The 6906, 6904, and their variants are sufficiently good pistols that there will be plenty of them around. One reason we keep these fine grips is that we are occasionally lucky enough to get some Department trade ins that need their grips replaced, and these are both better and cheaper than the factory replacement grips. Hogue rubber Monogrips, the factory points out, are molded from a durable synthetic rubber that is not spongy or tacky, but gives that soft recoil-absorbing feel, without affecting accuracy. We're offering these Hogue grips for the S&W 6900 type pistols, each           for only            $ 22.00.

The square butt K and L frames, of course, were discontinued in the mid 1990s, but one reason we keep these fine grips is that we are occasionally lucky enough to get some Department trade ins that need their grips replaced, and these fill the bill very well for shooters of a wide range of hand sizes.

All of us know Hogue from their popular, good-feeling, good-pointing soft rubber grips that have been around now for over 2 decades. There’s more to Hogue than just injection-molded rubber, though. Here is the closest Hogue ever produced to the classic old Smith & Wesson factory Combat Finger-Groove Grips for J and M frame Round Butt revolvers. We called the old ones Banana grips here in the South, but some of us are sophisticated enough to pronounce Goncalo Alves, after reading it for 50 years. Hogue assets its artistry in their factory snippet of an essay: Hardwood grips are precision inlet on modern computerized machinery (CNC) then hand finished on actual factory frames, assuring a proper fit. Finally they are hand polished to a non slippery sheen using natural carnauba wax which will not crack and peel like cheap sprayed on finishes. We hope that isn’t a dig against our beloved old factory grips from the 1970s that inspired these. At any rate, these are thoroughly traditional looking grips, and they have a feel and pointability that is even better than the originals. We no longer find these in the distribution channels or on Hogue’s home pages. Photos show the only set for the J frames we’ve come across for two years, new grips in an old package. We’re offering the set in the photos     for only                       $ 69.00.

Most Smith & Wesson Revolvers manufactured after 1996 have Round Butt Grip Frames. If you aren’t sure which yours is, please see the comparative photo.  Photos show representatives of only a couple dozen Italian Walnut grips we found in an old Southern Warehouse for any Smith & Wesson J or M frame revolver with a square butt grip frame. These include models 34 and 36, and their stainless counterparts models 63 and 60. Very Few 60 Square Butts were ever manufactured. These are excellent grips, and we sold lots of them during the 1960s until 1980s. These were imported by distinguished New York Importer Sile, Inc., and all of them are new, just occasionally with some slight signs of shelfwear from their years in the warehouse. What these do, shooting wise, is to extend the grip into a longer square butt style feel, and they give about an extra inch of finger space on their butt portion. The top of the checkering area sweeps out slightly into a finger rest configuration for added grip control and distinctive, period-correct appearance. Photos show a vintage Louisiana Law Enforcement S&W with a set installed. Apart from that, they look good. These are all genuine cut-checkered Italian Walnut with stainless screws and screw escutcheons. These grips are period correct for any Smith & Wesson manufactured from the late 1960s through about 1995, and we consider them collectable in their own right. We’re offering these fine grips well below what similar bizarre looking competitors sell for. Own a set, the ones in the photos or a set of their identical mates             for only                       $ 39.00.

These grips’s heyday in the 1970s and 1980s saw them compete favorably with the much pricier factory Smith & Wesson grips that were hard to get at the time for any price.  Photos show a vintage Michigan Police Supply special order Airweight Bodyguard with a set of these installed. Apart from that, they look good. These are all genuine cut-checkered Italian Walnut with stainless screws and screw escutcheons.
