Do current production 629 Classic revolvers have round butt or square butt in regards to purchasing aftermarket grips?

All current production Smith & Wesson 629 "Classic's"
are of the round-butt configuration. But, they come
standard with Hogue finger grooved "MonoGrip's"
that make 'em feel semi square-butted!

Give that gentleman a cigar!

You are correct Sir!

Smith & Wesson stopped making square butts in 1992 IIRC; except for the odd semi-custom performance center run.

Once upon a time, gunsmiths had a pretty regular business converting square butt S&Ws to round butt. It was a pretty popular conversion. So S&W decided to just go ahead and stop making square butts, but you could always use a Hogue grip to get a square butt feel.
