The 629-1 revolvers were from the 1982 - 1988 years. They are well built guns with quality parts.

In 1988 they went to the 29-2, in 1989 the 629-2E endurance package, and later in 1989 the 629-3. These changes helped strengthen the yoke and cylinder timing parts.

Some have had lock-up issues in the early 629's, and other shooters have run thousands of full magnum rounds with no problems.

I have a 629-1 that I have been trying to sell for quite some time now for $600.00 and no takers. I guess the big drawback is that it carries an 8-3/8" bbl. It is in excellent condition, but again, my longest 629 sports a 5" bbl.
