I have 2 ea 5" Classic DX's that I bought new for my wife and I in the early 90's when we were both were shooting NRA and IHMSA "sillywets"!

Both guns, 629-3's, came with factory fired targets and extra front sights and 2 sets of grips. One has worn a silver 4x Leupold EER scope for many years and the other is outfitted with a fiber optic front sight obtained thru Dillon Precision. Both are extremely accurate with cast boolits, with the scoped gun giving 25 yd groups with one ragged hole. The fiber optic sight does not lend itself to precision shooting by design, but it has still accounted for a few Whitetail deer from my tired old eyes. I love these guns and would never part with them, altho I find myself shooting my 629-4 Mtn Gun as much, or perhaps more, because of it's 24 ounce trigger, and general light weight. I have 32 ounce triggers on the 5" Classic DX's. These triggers are obtained using Wolff rebound slide springs.
