I love the 629, and I regret selling the two I have owned. A prelock 610 is worth almost twice what a prelock 629 is worth. As a matter of fact, my first 629 was bought as a compromise. I really wanted a 610 but at the time I got outbid on gunbroker. I vowed to go up to 1200 and the auction closed at 1205. I found almost the exact same gun as a 629 for less than 700 and I bought it. I never fired it and traded it for two desireable Smiths a couple of years later.
