I have two longer barrel smiths. one a 629-1 in 8 3-8" that I dont have a pic of. It was my first firearm purchased quite a few years ago. The other is a more recent purchase, a performance center 629-6 Compensated Hunter. This revolver doesnt have an 8 3-8 tube but it is still longer than normal at 7 1-2" It is the most accurate revolver I own. I can shoot sub 2" groups at 50 yards and I am sure that the gun can do better. the action is also buttery smooth.
