Very nice.
Do you plan to carry it; if so, what holster?

For holster, check the Galco web page. They list nine separate holsters and various accessories for the S&W - N FR .44 Model 29/629 4" barrel. I have never been disappointed with a Galco product and while a little extra money, they are phenomenally well built and fitted.

Say, I am also in the market for a similar .44 weapon. I am actually looking at the S&W Perf Ctr 629 with 2.625" barrel. Did you consider that pistol for roughly the same money, and what made you decide on the one you selected?

BTW, your weapon also doubles as great varmint and snake weapon when it's not loaded for bear by having some Speer or CCI shot around - the .44 loads with 170 of #9 shot.

Thanks

I'm a Sig Sauer guy never liked wanted needed a revolver in my short time of being a handgun fan. I hate the IL on any weapon and will pass by any weapon with one. That being said one day walked in to my local range that was on the shelf and the little fella sitting on my shoulder said hey man look at that nxt thing I know I run a box shells through her and decided to put her on layaway. And that is how I picked it I probably paid way too much for it but hey.

How did you find a S&W without a lock? I didn't think they made them any more. Does it have a two piece barrel?
