New used 629-3 on the the way.
Bought this S&W 629 yesterday from a Calgunner. He advertised it as firing only 50 rnds of 44 spc. He had excellent references.
When I first saw the add in the CalGuns marketplace I thought "Yea right. $795. I can spend a little more and get a brand new one." Then I saw the pics and noticed the hole in the hammer, no lock and enhanced cylinder stops. Met him yesterday and drosed it. Wonderful CA 10 day wait now, but my p/u date is also my birthday. Best. Birthday. Present. Ever.

Congrats!
You've got great gun for great price. Make sure you lube it well and stay away from super hot ammo.

S&W 629-3
Congratulations on your purchase of a very nice
S&W 629-3 44 Magnum.
I have 3; a '90's Classic, a '90's RSR Light Hunter
(in my Avatar), and now a 2009 Mountain Gun.
I reload and enjoy shooting them. Sometimes I
practice with Full Power loads, but now a days
I shoot Lead Bullets at around 850 feet per second.
Thank for the nice pictures also.

Yea, I got a small pile of 29s, but no "shooters" except for one p&r nickel. I would have preferred a 4", but this is ok.

This model is right after the no dash P&R version for being the best 629 made.

I managed to download the pics just before the seller closed the ad.

My 629-3 is a great gun. Everyone that shoots it comments on how easy it is to shoot accurately and the trigger is sweet.

Best of the best IMO in a 629.
Square butt, full endurance package, pre lock/mim, flash chrome on hammer and trigger for rust resistance.
The one you want for a shooter.
