A 3" barreled M29 LHS is my favorite revolver hands down. They have the endurance package and come with the Goncalo Alves combat grips. They balance nearly perfect in my hand and are very accurate. I shoot everything from 300 grain full house mags to 200 grain .44Special Gold Dots in mine. And the recoil isn't what some are making it out to be... I can tell virtually no difference in recoil between a 3" barreled M29 and a 5"... Plus, a 3" barreled version carries a hell of a lot better on the hip than a 4, 5, or 6+ inch version and that is NOT even debatable...
