I've had 4 in my life: a 29-2 6" which I traded for a 629 4" Mountain Gun. I later stumbled across a 6" 29-3 and a 7-1/2" Ruger Redhawk in SS!

I loved the Ruger, after I uber cleaned it and lubed it with Liquid Moly. Best
factory action I've ever come across and it was accurate. A buddy without a .44 talked me out of it and now I'm down to the 629-4 4" Mountain Gun and a 29-3 6" and I'm happy.

FYI: The Mountain Gun almost only is carried with full .44 Mags when in
the field. It's too much recoil and impact to shoot regularly. So it's regular diet is .44 Spl.
The 29-3 6" gets nothing but .44 Mag diet.
