I bought a Model 29-10, 6 1/2-inch, nickel, in 2006 when the model was introduced. I replaced the stocks with a pair from the mid-70s and have put several hundred rounds of factory 44 Magnum (240 grain JSP) through it. I have never had a problem and it is very accurate at 25 and 50 yards. Click on the photo for a better look
