The Hogue S&W N Square Butt Grip replaces the factory rubber on your Smith & Wesson N-frame revolver with a genuine hardwood option that improves control and aesthetics. Square butt revolvers like the Model 29, 625, and 627 benefit from a grip that fills your hand properly, and Hogue's wood construction gives you a more refined alternative to polymer while maintaining the grip profile your gun was designed for.
Hogue selects premium hardwoods for durability and appearance—materials chosen specifically for their density and resistance to the wear that comes with regular shooting. The wood takes on a natural patina over time, and because each piece of timber is unique, your grip will develop character that pure plastic can't match. Installation is straightforward on compatible N-frame models, and the grip maintains the square butt profile that gives you a flush fit in holsters and bags.
If you're looking to upgrade your duty or hunting revolver with a grip that won't degrade in your safe or on your belt, Hogue wood is a time-tested choice that balances function with the kind of honest materials that age well. Whether you're a serious N-frame shooter or someone who appreciates the feel of real wood under your hand, this grip delivers on both fronts without compromise.
