Bought a 6.5" 29-2 brand new in 1975. It was stolen in 1985. I immediately bought an identical revolver but made in 1978. At some point I bought and sold a 4" and an 8" 29-2. About 6 years ago I bought a NiB 4" 29-2 made in 1976. Sold it a couple months ago. Still have the 6.5 that I got in 1985 as a replacement.

I have probably fired a total of 50 rounds through all my 29s. I am recoil sensitive and I find the 44 Magnum too brutal. I tried Pachs and a shooting glove. No help. So painful I avoid shooting the 44 Magnums. I don't really know why the hell I own one except I think I should.
