Chuck, sorry I lost track of this thread. Yes, I still have the HP. It has about 100 rounds through it and has never been carried. Kenny Haag hunted in Alaska with Keith, I believe and killed bear with the Model 29s. Ken was a man's man, champion skeet shooter as well as avid hunter. His name may appear in some of Keith's writings. I bought Smiths from him like they were candy and resold them with no problems. His wholesale prices were very generous. I bought from him as a teenager with no FFL. Once, he asked me if I had handled his 29 with custom grips. He took me out to his truck and handed me the gun from the holster. I sighted on the showroom of the Ford dealership down the block. His comment was "Don't pull the trigger. It's loaded." I had not opened the cylinder, thinking it was certainly not loaded. A lot of this post is a repetition of an earlier post from five years ago, but Chucks comments deserve a new look. Bill Murphy in MD.
