The 629 Classic is a -4 and my first .44 mag.The 29-2 is the closest thing to a safe queen I own.It sees range time and and occasional woods carry.The 629 is a true working man's gun.A retired Air Force Col.once told me Smith&Wesson handguns were built for using, Colts were built to look at.I don't buy into that completely,but hey everyone is entitled to their own ideas.Great guns in this thread.
