I appreciate the 5-screw, 4-screw, and P&R 29's of course. But the S&W .44 Mags that I shoot the most are a 29-6 Classic full lug 6.5" (BRD prefix) and a pair of 629-4's with standard 6" barrel (BRN and BSM prefixes). Engineered and manufactured with enhanced endurance features and ~.429" cylinder throats, these production revolvers are tight and very accurate. All three were produced in 1994 and, IMHO, are among the finest of the old school pre-lock, pre-MIM, hammer-mounted firing pin N-frame production revolvers manufactured by Smith & Wesson.
