Any 3" N frame lovers out there?

Candrews86 · Jan 18, 2015

I just picked up this 29-3 3". It looks almost unfired to me. The guy said it was a 1985 Lew Horton. (200 made that year?) I don't have my book near, does anyone know the serial range for these guns?
Thanks!

Serial # ALAxxxx

I had owned one that was in the ALDxxxx serial range. LH confirmed that it was one they had sold.

I just bought an ALB 29-3 3 inch. I confirmed it was a Lew Horton. Fantastic shooter. Made in 85. Also have a 29-4 3 inch that I found out was not a Horton but a Smith run in 89. Gotta love those 3 inch N frames.

I have two 3"ers that I'm very happy with. A 629-6 and a 624.

I just picked up my first N Frame 2 days ago!

I'm looking forward to spending some time with it. I only got to put a few cylinders through it. I own and love its cousin the 686PC 2.5" and carry it daily. I have some holsters on the way for the 627 and look forward to carrying this beast!

I liked my 3" M625 so much that I bought a second one.

I think they're pretty nice handguns. A guy could do a lot worse than a 3" round butt Nframe. This ones an LH 629-1

I like my 3" 624!

And my 325NG

You guys are killing me with those 624's. Damn they look good!

Frangible · Jan 18, 2015

625-3

I have 2 3inchers, the 625 and a CS1, I like them both.

sw1834 · Jan 18, 2015

I have two that I shoot and also conceal carry from time to time.
624 and 657 no dashes

I NEVER SAW A 3" N FRAME THAT I DID NOT LIKE. THIS 629 IS NOT A LEW HORTON……..

cbjordan76 · Jan 18, 2015

Love them! Here's my two, both 629-1's.

One Of Mine

Here's a 629 "Alaska Backpacker", one of a run of 505 guns for a large distributor in Alaska in 1998. They have a special serial prefix of NLT. I also have a 657 and 625 in 3" forms.

DR505 · Jan 18, 2015

No dash 657 from 1986

I have a M24 that I love. Actually shot in an IDPA match recently- did pretty good too

Here's the other side

I'm not sure that "lover" is quite a strong enough adjective, I'm leaning more towards "addict". I just can't seem to have enough of them.

It started off innocently enough, a 3" 629-1 fifteen months ago. Then a 686-4+, my first L frame snubbie. I think I'm close to three dozen to date... and my checking account will never be the same.

I'm not much of a photographer, but I will try to attach a pic. This is most of the 44 Magnums in my modest collection. This photo was taken at the NE Ohio "bunch" fall meeting.

This was my first attempt at a display. I believe there are a dozen 3" 44 Magnums shown. Bob

Great looking revolvers, guys. Although I must confess, the thought of shooting a 3" 629...well, I'm still a bit wary of my 6 incher!

Gripgrabber · Jan 19, 2015

You can't help but love a N frame!! I have a 629-4,3" RB not a LHorton.
