29-2 Got Dirty Today
I took my prized 4" nickel 29-2 out to my range today and had a lot of fun. Shot mostly .44 specials with a few magnums thrown in for good measure. This group was my best of about 30 rounds of specials. Don't know what happened with those bottom two. Now I get to do some cleaning. Just wanted to share.

If you only had two drunks staggering around at 30 yards you ain't doing too bad!! Great shooting and beautiful 29.

Nice! I have a nickel 29-24" also that I have yet to shoot. What chemical(s) do you clean yours with?

I use Hoppe's Elite for the bore and cylinder and Flitz sparingly on the cylinder face, finishing up with a coat of Renwax.

Nice shootin iron !
Not familiar with Hoppes Elite but be advised many believe Hoppes #9 should not be used on nickel guns...

Nice shooting. I haven't shot my Model 29-2 4"bbl. in a while. Guess I will have to remedy that! Mine is a 1976 gun.
