I would not pass up any 29 or 629 if that is what you want, unless you are going to shoot thousands of max load 300 grain bullets through it. They are a lot more durable that some folks would lead you to believe. I have an old 29 that I bought around 1968 that is still as tight as the day it left the factory and I shot a lot of loads of 240 grain lead bullets over 20 grains of 2400. Not a max load with the old 2400. The guns with the enhancements are even better.
