Thinking of Picking up a s&w 629-4 full lug, 4 maybe 5 inch. Looking to see if i could get any info on them. Haven't seen alot of them. I am still looking to fill the "44 mag" spot in my collection.
I believe the 629-4 was the last of the "no MIM, no lock" guns.
I have a pair of 629-4 Mountain Guns with case color hammer/trigger, firing pin on the hammer, etc.
My 5" -4. Good gun, no issues, no MIM, hammer-mounted firing pin. As I remember it shipped '93 -'94. Has tighter throats than my -3, but still works fine with my preferred loads.
