I recently picked up a mint S & W 29-2 4" in a trade for a Ruger LCR (even up). Yep, I know good deal.
Anyway, I wanted the gun primarily to carry in Bear country (I flyfish in AK and MT) and so I'll be running some heavier loads with it ( probably 300 grain Buffalo Bores). I'd like to find some grips to help absorb the recoil, I've heard the S & W 500 grips do a great job and cover the back strap but according to Smith they fit round butt guns only. The 29-2 is a square butt, any alternative suggestions?
