Hi Cory. I have a 2x Leupold on mine. A 4x Leupold on my 460PC.. Above
4x for me the eye relief tends to greatly increase.. My advice ls to compare
all 3 side-by-side.. Only way you can decide conclusively..
With reference to the "dash" models in 629 S&W it's a bit confusing. There
are Real differences.. Dash 4 was last hammer mounted firing pins.
Dash 5 moved the firing pins internally to the frame.. Not exactly a new
feature on a Smith & Wesson revolver. My 1947 K 22 has a frame mounted pin.
Dash Six saw the introduction of the internal lock on 629s. Now things can
get a bit confusing.. Dash Seven on a 629 means this model has a two or
Three piece barrel... Like the 629 Magnum Hunter for example.. Last but
certainly not least is Mister Eight Ball.. The Dash Eight. He's the one with
the extra screw in the side plate.. Again NOT a new feature on Smith revolvers.
First four screw side plates appear on the original hand ejectors. M&P
was introduced in 1899..
Just a bit before my time.. I believe right now Cory Smith&Wesson makes
three different versions of the 629. Simultaneously!!! MIM parts don't seem
to have any input or effect on Dash numbers.. Your Light Hunter has a
Forged hammer/trigger. Mine too. I think 75s' has MIM ones.. Bottom line
Is.. How it shoots is what counts. Accuracy/handling are KING.. If the gun
can't put the bullet on target when and where you need it, all that other stuff
means NOTHING..
