Ruger

my only 29

sorry but I didnt have room for my favorites
the 629's

lite weight

Only have one, but I like it a lot.

I have three. The first is an early 29-2 with a 4" barrel. No box or papers. Dates around 1967.



Second is a 29-2 nickel with 6" barrel. Has the blue box, presentation box, and big cardboard box that contained everything. Tools and papers included.



Lastly is a 1973 6 1/2" blued version. Have presentation box, tools, and owners manual. This is my Dirty Harry gun.

I'll drag in a couple of Smiths...



















My photography ain't worth braggin' about either!

This is the lot!

real nice guns , thanks to all
Drew you 've got some wild stuff

Havent mastered pics yet either. This is the first nice gun Ive bought, Im finding out I dont like safe queens. Im always worried about scuffin it up when I shoot it. I like shooters better.
1958 4 screw pinto pre 29

My only .44 Magnum was an early Ruger Redhawk (7 1/2") that I bought in '84 that I got to take with me when I got orders to Alaska. I already had a Marlin .44 lever gun and the two made a great pair. The Sitka deer in SE Alaska are rather small and either one (if you had the handgun skill ) was potent medicine. Somewhere along the line I got rid of both of them, which, of course in my old man wisdom I now regret.

I won't leave you without some kind of picture, though. Here is a .44 Magnum being fired from a handgun. Thanks to some kind of super duper photography, we get to see the actual bullet shortly after it exited the tube.

Just a P&R 629 8 3/8:

My only .44 mag.

I love the concept of the fixed sighted 629 snub .44 magnum Seabago!

Would even love it more if it was in .45 LC (to reduce weight due to bigger holes.)

The snubs seem under represented so here is a pair of Lew Horton

Thanks Deaf... These were supposed to be part of a 1,000 gun run for Camfour in 1998 as I recall. To be built in three groups of a little over 300 each. Two years later, the first bunch hadn't sold, so Camfour dropped the prices substantially. I grabbed up two of them. One is still unfired. With 240 grain Federal American Eagle loads they will sure get your attention. I guess that's why they shipped with huge Hogue stocks which seems rather silly to me. I put the k-frame round butt Magnas on these two just for the photo to show how small the grip frames really are..

These days I'd rather shoot a 4" gun with a square butt.

Drew

What a great thread.
I can't tell you how many of these I have searched the past couple of years.

I like the other calibers also but spend the majority of my time fiddling with the .44 Magnum. Whether it be reloading, cleaning, shooting, buying or selling, you name it, the majority of my 'gun' time is spent with the .44 Magnum.

My -4 with its favorite 280 grain BearTooths.

I reached my goal last year of having 44 .44 Magnums. Sorry about the ****** pics. Here are some of them.





And a couple of 29-2 four inchers

The .44 Magnum is my favorite "heavy". It'll shoot through a large whitetail deer end for end at 100 yards and is still manageable. Some great silhouette scores have been shoot with this caliber.

My first one was a used Super Black Hawk that I traded for. .44 Magnums of any persuasion were scarce at the time (back in the late fifties or early sixties). This shows some signs of holster use but is a terrific shooter. I added Pachmayr grips so I could shoot this with some comfort.



My favorite deer hunting revolver is my early Model 29 with 8 3/8" barrel. There were no available scope mounts when I had this one done. I located a local precision machine shop, bought blank Kimber bases (the original Kimber Rifle Com) and used Kimber rings. I wanted an elegant solution with the scope mounted between the sights (better balance for two handed shooting). I can remove the scope and use the iron sights in inclement weather if necessary. I also had two of my shooting buddie's revolvers treated the same:



My bad weather gun (stainless) is an early Ruger Red Hawk:



Here is a recent acquisition, a S&W Performance Center "Light Hunter". It has a proper scope mount (mounts the scope between the sights) with an excellent recoil lug for the mount (actually sunk into the barrel rib):



Here is a Ruger 50th Anniversary Flattop Anniversary .44 magnum. I added Pachmayr grips (this is a requirement for me with heavy recoiling handguns) and then gave this to my son-in-law. Hopefully, he'll take an Elk with it next hunting season (he, my daughter, and grand kids live in Utah). It was only test fired and it IS a shooter. I also had a trigger job done:



Of course, everyone needs a 4" .44 Magnum for those woods rambling trips, unfortunately, I don't have a picture of this one.

As the Sheriff in Blazing Saddles would say, " Excuse me while I whip this out! "











GF

My only two.29-2 4"and 629-4 classic 6-1/2".Bought the 629 new in 1995 or 96 and the 29-2 used no box or papers about 9 years ago.They both shoot a lot better than I do.

Dan Wesson, Monson, vintage. 2x scope with a B-square mount.
this was my deer gun till i bought my S&W 500.

Dale53, hows that new PC gun shoot, I've been looking at one of those to use for this falls freezer filler

A flattop like Dale53's that I chopped and added a Bisley hammer to before ever firing a shot



Not yet molested 3 screw



329



M-29



Chopped Redhawk



Chopped OM Super





A LNIB Super that became a donor gun and sold off after GF and hammer swap with a 45 Colt. There have been many of these around here

Totally agree. This is a fantastic thread with some sensational guns.

4" s168xxx 6 1/2 s153xxx

I have to agree, this is a great thread with so much diversity!

I had no idea there were so many cool looking Rugars, just a brand I am not familiar with having spent so much time and energy on the Smiths over the years.

That is JUST like the one that lives under my pillow. I love these guns. If you can whack up the nerve to let fly with full power Remington .44 Mags this huge blue flame jumps about a foot out of the barrel and it thunders like a cannon. Excellent guns. Too bad S&W doesn't make them regularly.

Tek4260, looking at your hawglegs is making my left thumb get all twitchey ....lol

My trio of 29s. They're all shooters:
