Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of rye bread.
Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
Spread a tablespoon of Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread in the skillet.
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese, a portion of corned beef, 1/4 cup of sauerkraut, and another slice of Swiss cheese on top of each piece of bread in the skillet.
Spread Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of the remaining 4 slices of bread and place them dressing-side down on top of the sandwiches in the skillet.
Press sandwiches lightly with a spatula to flatten them slightly and ensure even grilling.
Cook sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning, until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip each sandwich and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the bread is crisp and the cheese has fully melted.
Remove sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half, and serve immediately.
