Hi all I have been scouring the internet with google the past week and need some help making up my mind. I live in Tn and spend a good deal of my time hiking/ and fishing. I am planning on going to Alaska for a family fishing trip as well.
I am looking for a revolver the S&W 329 Alaskan Backpacker to be exact it seems to have moved to the top of my list. I originally was looking at the S&W 460 with a 5" barrel and was considering the Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in 44 or 454.
I cant find a lot of info on the S&W Alaskan Backpacker I like the weight and reliability of the revolver platform and it would be a more carry then used gun. I would like to be able to carry some stout loads when in the woods and 44 specials the other times. Would the 329 Alaska backpacker handle a round like the 310gr Garrett hammerhead?
I currently have a glock 20sf/29sf a taurus raging bull in 44 & a S&W 629 stealth hunter and the S&W governor. My current favorite hiking gun is a chiappa rhino 200ds 357 mag.
I am just looking for as much info as I can get about the 329 Alaska Backpacker I think it would fit perfect into my woods gun collection am I wrong?
Thanks for the help all
