Evidently Smith doesn't ever square butt any frames anymore.
The new S&W classics with the blued finish such as the model 29 or 586 still come with square butts.
Are you sure the frames are square? My 69 has square butted grips but when you take them off, the frame is round-butted. I'm sure some of the makers mentioned above are making square butt wooden grips to fit the round butt L frame like mine, but I don't know. The grips that are on it fit tight but don't fit right because they're off a regular square butt L frame, pre-lock. I'm not contradicting you, just asking.
