Late to the party, but that's the story of my life--LOL. I carry my 629 Mountain Gun in a Simply Rugged 'pancake' rig and it carries well.

Looks like the 4" 44 carried in a simply rugged pancake is most popular. Have you had any problems with it staining? What do you feed it for loads?

No staining at all. This is the second Simply Rugged I have bought. The other is for my Ruger Alaskan.
The load I feed it are dependent on where I am. Home I keep it loaded with Cor-Bon 165 gr HP in .44M and for outdoor use I load it with Double Tap's HCSWC or Georgia Arms 240 gr Bonded HP.
I have both the MG and the holster to be a great combo.

PS--The one major change I made on my MG was to change out the grips for the X-frame Hogues. BIG help on felt recoil.

This is one of only two guns I currently carry (the other is a bottom feeder). It's a Lew Horton 3" 624 in .44 Special. It rides in a Lobo Gunleather IWB very comfortably. It's surprisingly easy to conceal and the weight doesn't bother me a bit. I took the smooth combat grips off because they get very slippery when your hands aren't 100% dry, thought that was not good thing for a carry gun. The new grips have pretty aggresive checkering that really secures the gun in hand. Plus the new grips are shorter and easier to conceal. I replaced the hammer with one I bobbed in the garage for multiple reasons. She's stuffed full of Cor-Bon DPX 200 grain'ers when she's on my side.

Thanks a bunch.
If I were where I could walk and have opportunity to shoot randomly I would sure go that route.

That is one very nice looking Model 27. One day I hope to own a 4" model with grips just like those.

As for the holster, I just ordered a SimplyRugged Sourdough pancake holster for my 4" Model 29

No kidding. I looked like a wino at the time.
This is, by far, the BEST post I have seen on any gun forum to date.

There are guys out there who own 20 holsters for 1 gun.

You Sir, are my hero!

I've posted this pic several times in other threads, but in case anybody missed it...



Added a set of C&S Extreme Duty sights, an 'old' style cylinder release, and stippled the back-strap just to add a bit more traction. Had to sand and refinish the grips to get 'em to fit me just right.

Looks like your all set. I like the pancake, if you don't mind me asking who made it?

Here's my 627-5 in a holster I made. It conceals very well under a hangy-down T-shirt.

MacBullet, i like those grips you've got. Classy looking. I carry my 627-PC "Blood Work" at times. Love the snubby. Can shoot 357s - all day long.

Not concealed, but this 629-2 gets carried on my evening woods-walks. Just tonight I saw a black bear that would easily go 4 to 5 hundred pounds. He was a good distance off, but still made me feel good to be packin'.



Now and then, this goes instead.



Or this

I am not Coop, but they look a whole lot like the grips that came
on my 629-2 Mountain Revolver. Pachmayr Gripper is the official
name AFAIK.

My Performance Center 627 UDR in its Lobo Gun Leather Enhanced Pancake holster. These Lobo pancakes are some of the most comfortable holsters I've used in 40+ years of concealed carry.

Sorry, no I don't. His website is how I ordered mine a few years ago. Don't have a clue what happened.

I happen to be a right-handed person, and this was a right-handed holster, but after a lot of draw-practice I decided to actually 'flip' it, and I wear it on my right side now, as a lefty would for cross draw. I find that my 'cavalry' draw is significantly faster than my cross draw, and also much easier for me to control and limit where that muzzle is pointing between it leaving the holster and the sights reaching the target. Also, I've found that being a righty, it's easier for me to 'forget' this massive gun is there (not entirely, but you know what I mean?)when I'm wearing it on my right side. Anyone else wear their shoulder rig on the same side as their dominant hand? I find it to be comfier, faster, and safer, but I know it's different strokes for different folks. I just got this awesome wheelgun not long ago, I wear a big jacket in the winter, so I might be able to CCW with this rig in the colder months depending on where I'm going and what I'll be doing.



I carried my Centennial in an upside down shoulder holster on my strong side for years-- lots faster to draw in my opinion, and it didn't look like you were going for your gun.

625-10 soon to be in a Bell Charter Oak pancake holster.

This one came with BCO pocket holster that is just way too big for any pocket.

While I have several rigs laying around I dont have a picture of them. I own about a dozzen N frames, and I belive my model 24-3 4" is my favorite to pack. I did find a ancient picture of me wearing a Don Hume rig, but that one is for a 5" N frame and I think in the picture I must be wearing a 5" model 29-2 or 5" 27-2 in it. Hey, that picture is close to 35 years ago! I have some serviceable holsters but nothing real fancy for my N frames.
