My 29-10 classic is (now) a fantastic, accurate gun.

However, brand new out of the box this nearly $1000 gun had by far the worst crown I've ever seen:



Since the gun was a special order I ended up sending it back to S&W. They replaced the barrel for free, and as I said above, it's now a fantastic shooter. Both the double and single action trigger pulls are as good as most of my older revolvers, and better than some.

I agree with others who have said the factory grips are a little on the thin side.
