29-1 Collection
There are still less than 30 documented 29-1 .44 Magnums. Here are two of them. Thanks for looking, and I would personally like to thank my friend Chuck Odom.
1) 6.5", shipped 5/29/62 to Oshman's Sporting Goods, Houston, TX. This is one of the first two shipped. It was shipped in May of '62, which is the first month that S&W started stamping 29-1's.
2) 8 3/8", shipped 1/23/63 To Pittsburgh, PA. The original clamshell case is so minty clean, that I prefer not to even keep the tools in it.

Man, talk about a 44K retirement plan! And I'm NOT EVEN going to ask if you're gonna shoot them. 😁

Scarce guns... Especially difficult to find in such nice condition! The Clamshell cases for those are equally impressive. Congratulations and thanks for showing them.

Quite possibly the first 29-1 ever shipped. Happy 57th Birthday.
6.5", shipped 5/29/62 to Oshman's Sporting Goods, Houston, TX. This is one of the first two shipped. It was shipped in May of '62, which is the first month that S&W started stamping 29-1's.
Thanks again Chuck.

All M29's and M57's have bull barrels (no taper just beyond the frame)

Those are two truly magnificent specimens. Since the M29-1 was only produced one year, how many were supposedly made? As far as that goes, how many no-dash M29's were made?
I figure the dash-2 is the most produced series, since it went 20 years until the dash-3.

4-Screw is very fortunate to have acquired two rare and beautiful 29-1 revolvers. Aside from the beauty of the guns, the grips are outstanding and rival many done by custom makers.

Here's another one for your records; also found in the Pittsburgh area. Not as pristine as yours, but still pretty nice:

Well, you could go for a 4" blue 29-1, then all bbls in nickel, then start on 27-1s, 17-1's, and on and on.
Nice 29-1's

I remember as a kid going into the Oshman's store in Pasadena Texas even bought a gun or 2 from that store. Great sporting goods store in the day. They sold out to Sport's Authority who could never keep up with Academy and they went under. Great looking 29-1's by the way

Yes, great store. I used to go to the ones in Arizona when I was young.
Thank you for the kind words everyone.
I am not sure of the exact number of how many 29-1's were actually made. Bill?
