New S&W 67 - Grip question

[Revolver218]

I have ordered a new S&W 67 and, before it arrives, want to order special grips (to match the grips on the other revolvers I have). I'm assuming this gun has the round butt as opposed to a square one in the older models. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.

I believe all new S&W revolvers, with the exception of some of the Classic series have a round butt.

I have a 67-3. It has a round butt. Nice gun, BTW.

If new, it is almost certainly round butt. This was standardized somewhere around 1994 or '95. They will often put square-butt-profile grips on them, however, so take the grips off to be sure.

You kids have it too easy. Back in my day if you wanted a K frame Smith w/four inch barrel w/round grip, you had to send it to a metalsmith.

I never went that route. I do remember sending two model 19s to Smith and Wesson. One had a 2 1/2 inch barrel, and the other had a four inch barrel. They swapped barrels.

But I didn't like them so I sent them back to have them returned to original.
