I am considering one for my Model 29 so that I can reach the hammer with my non-shooting hand and thumb cock the hammer single action. many people can do this without any kind of extension but my digits are too short for that.

Any thoughts or shares would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Find one compatible with an N-frame S&W (Any S&W revolver), and post a photo or link and post, and maybe someone will post an opinion! (Hint, you aren't going to find one!!!)



I have a hard time believing you cannot thumb-cock the gun with your left thumb when using a normal two-handed hold, you probably need to have someone show you how to hold the gun properly!
