I've had a 329PD since they first appeared on the scene. Put a set of Hogue 500X frame grips, (only available from Smith)on it, and enjoy your new revolver. I shoot mine a lot with 1000fps to 1100fps re-loads using cast boolits.I love this gun, and carry mine, whenever ccw is wanted. Only caveat is the top strap shield, which will wear out if used a lot. Smith has already replaced mine at no charge, twice.
