Paul 105 ran his grips into a belt sander before I tried it. Thank you Paul for the help and impetus to do so.
These x frame grips only last about 3 thousand rounds before they wear through on the cushion. Toss them and buy another.

Over zelous application of belt sander/dremel drum sander -- more aesthetic outcome can be accomplished if you take your time (can also use dremel with drum sander attachment.

Playing with my 69 with VZ grips
Do love this Smith 44.
What did you use to refinish the wood?
My apologies to weasels.
Hogue wood grips can be ordered without finger grooves. Plus there are options like round to square butt conversion, also available without finger grooves.
