When you fire your 629 loaded with 44 mags (180 gr are the worst), that will be the last sound you hear -- especially indoors. Use 200 gr Blazer Gold Dots, an excellent self-defense round with the 8-3/8 barrel, less noise and no recoil. I've shot that load in a 5" 629 and it felt like 148 gr HBWC out of a 6" 686. Be reasonable, you still want to hear the music after the gunfire.
