Model 29 -2
Why is this model so desired? I have one bought in 76 with a pinned barrel. On the frame it has 29-2

It's a very versatile handgun. With the right loads it is great for target shooting, self defense, and even hunting.

Dirty Harry. And, a 6.5” 29 is just dead sexy.

Besides the Dirty Harry mystique you can down load the .44 magnum with loads that won’t hurt you that magnum rounds will.
BTW I love DirtyHarry.....

Much more pleasant with 44 Specials or handloads that duplicate 44 Special or just a bit more, but well below 44 Magnum velocities.

In my opinion the 29-2 is the best balance between collectability, availability and price. Older models might be more desirable but they are not as common and that makes them command a price most cannot afford.
My 29-2 is from 1978 and has a much nicer finish than all my later ones

Just look at the terrific polished nickel finish on those revolvers.
No lock to mar the traditional aesthetics.
( the blue finish ... I wouldn’t pass on either)
Indeed it is a very special wheelgun built for the mighty .44.

If I may inquire of you fine folks here, rather than starting an entirely new thread...
Never mind. 
I started a new thread:
29-2 Pricing Thoughts?
