Default S&W 29-3 3 inch

I picked up this nice model 29-3, 3 inch over the weekend. It is like new in the box and came with the box and documents. I thought I would post a couple of pictures.

Default That's a real...

...beauty.

It's probably a Lew Horton Special. You can send an email to Lew Horton's firm, and they'll confirm if it's one of theirs.

I have a similar 24-3.

Mine's one of my favorites.

Congrats on that hand cannon and invest in a reloading kit if you don't have one and full coverage rubber grips. Can load 50 rounds of .41 magnums for around $7.00. Cheap fun and save the 210 gr. Gold Dots for serious work at $1.00 a pop factory loaded for self defense.

Now you need a 3" 657, and a 3" 686 and a........................................
