S&W 629 w/3" barrel Talo edition 44 magnum
I just picked her up and I've put about 100 rounds already and she shoots as good as she looks. Not my first Smith & Wesson, but currently the only one I own.

Welcome to the forum! These are great guns. Surprisingly low recoil and very accurate. Had to special order mine. When they brought it out for me to look at, a couple of people at the counter were interested in it. The employee said " You've heard of the Ladysmith? This is the Mansmith!" With those wood grips, it actually does look like one, only bigger. Enjoy your "Mansmith"

Nice gun! Are the grips broke?

"chez323" ~ Another forum member "called me out" (so to speak) on the post I made above so please let me re-phrase the question. Check the grips on the bottom and make sure they aren't cracked which I hope aren't. Otherwise, enjoy it - they are a great combo!

That's the one, I was in looking at some Sig AR's and I saw the used gun case. No AR that day, I picked it up and the used Vector AK under folder they had.

Great looking gun there Chez, I'm keeping one eye open for a short barrel, keep looking at the 627 in the showcase at Smith and Wesson.... it's a beauty too, in 357.. I think I have those same grips on a 686 custom built gun I picked up, think I have a pic somewhere around here of it.. enjoy
Happy New Year
i just finally got a custom holster for mine.
hard to find a holster for a 3" N-frame

Not to detract from anyones gun but, you'ld think the "horns" on the grips could be a little fuller at the top.Thin and short fitting grips at the top of the recoil hump sure can't make otherwise well designed grips any more comfortable.Sure are purty tho'. Nick
I just bought one of these (629 TALO) and then I saw this thread...so, with sinking heart and shaking hand, I unscrewed and removed the grips. Mine are fine! Whew!
Sorry...I do commiserate with anyone who has this problem, although I can't help but feel some relief that I don't have it as well. (Not something I get to say very often, with my usual luck.)
Does S&W still have Altamont build their grips? I've bought a number of grip sets from Altamont over the years, but here lately it seems their quality and service is slipping.

Sweet gun!
I agonized over getting that Talo version or the PC. For some reason I really like the non-fluted cylinder so I shelled out the extra cash for the PC model. Everytime I see the classic lines of that Talo 3" I wonder if I made the right choice.
Enjoy it!

It is a tough call as my interest in S&W revolvers started with my buddy's PC 44 magnum with an unfluted barrel......... I was torn too, but this one was in the used rack at a great price and as far as I could tell was unfired/fired very little if any. Someday I'll have an unfluted cylinder PC S&W...... as I love that look!
