I haven't seen any literature that ascribes a name to these.....maybe someone else here has one of the brochures? I remember seeing a flyer, but want to say it was a Camfour exclusive????
I have one of the 629-6's and its a little bit different from the "-5." Not only does the later one have the lock, it also has a different shaped frame. The earlier gun has a squared off frame (at the hammer) (the shape reminds me of a Model 36) and the later one is more rounded, much like a Model 58. I have a line on a dash 5, but can't get any movement from the owner.

Here is the "-6" Camfour to show the difference. The Lew Horton Carry Comp (Mag Comp, called either) has the same shape to the frame.
