Round Butt/ Square Butt

Look at the frame without the grips on. A square butt comes to a pronounced point at the rear of the frame. A round butt is smaller and curved. If I can, I'll try to take a pic of a square butt to show you.
 
Im totally impressed with the time this thread has been up and hasnt been the butt of some joke :D
I didnt know the difference either.
Shoot well
 
Things have come full circle for S&W.

When the hand ejectors were introduced, there were no square butts, only round.

Square butts were added a few years into production, and proved to be very popular.

Now they're gone again, with the option to use grips to "convert" a round butt to square (I've been doing that for years).

Surprising that this wasn't done sooner, as making two types of frames just complicates the process.
