The best packin' stainless N-frames ever made?

[VAdoublegunner]

I'll go with my LH Model 624.

You can load the 624 up to some impressive levels over normal 44SP factory loads, and without all the fierce fuss of a short barrel 44Mag. A 240 cast at 1000+ will handle most tasks that don't need full 44Mag power. If they do, then a 629-4 takes care of them.

You people are driving me plumb wild as I set here with my *** Taurus 85 UL

My only N frame A Old Brazilian Contact that has been customized..3.5 in barrel ..true DAO , internals all slicked up ..parkerized...


not in the class as I have seen here ....but its all i got...

Thats a slick looking wheelgun right there!


While mine two N-frames are blued, I find the mountain gun configuration to pack very well and balance perfectly.

I know the thread calls for the best one ever made, but I'll throw in MY best packin' N-frame - my model 657-4 41 magnum Mountain Gun. wyatte

I like the MG very much. My 629MG handles beautifully, and a hair better than the 29 bounty hunter I used to have.

 

[Muley Gil]

I'm real fond of my two Mountain Guns-a M625 .45 ACP and a M629.

The best carryin N frame stainless is an L frame.... the 696.

Due to the caliber, I guess that the 696 does qualify. Mine certainly packs better than my 629-4 Mountain Gun, but for versitility, the MG 44 is the first one I would grab. I own more 'N' frames than any other size in that I prefer 44 or larger bores. While the 'N' is great in any caliber, it is still hard to beat a model 629 4inch, in any format, for any kind of 'packing', IMHO.

I just carried this .45 Colt on a 2.5 mile walk tonight and barely noticed it was there.

Ooooo.... please, please.... no more... no more... I give up. So a month ago l didn't have any N frames. Thanks to the thread that Allen-frame started l now have a 625-2 5", a 625-3 4", both in .45 ACP and a 625-6 MG in long Colt. That's the good news. The bad news? My 2012 acquisition budget is done! At least for now!

The top one is an L frame, but you get the idea, I love the Mountain Guns.

The one with the Crimson Trace laser is very nice for shooting wild hogs from a tree stand (legal in Texas).

686+
629-2
629-5

Best carrying revolver for the woods would be a 629 carry comp, fixed sight so it wont snag.

Here is the 629 in some lobo leather

Wish they made the blood work with fixed sights. Best carry revolver when not in the woods.

i like you're setup , is that the enhanced pancake model ,and how do you like the thumbreak do you cc with this set up.

With those 3 fine wheelguns what else do you need to buy this year?
Ammo & moonclips.
You're set!

I too experienced that on treks into the desert near here. N-frames this light are quite tolerable to pack.

It is an enhanced pancake. I don't cc, use it when out camping. I like the thumbreak. It is easy to disengage. Probably don't need it but I like the extra security.

I agree! Working on ammo... gonna get a boatload of moonclips... and keep my eyes open for any 625 with a shorter barrel. The balance and feel of shooting these revolvers makes me look like l know how to shoot! They are far more accurate than l am...

My 5" 625 Classic in .45 Colt makes me look like a slower Jerry Miculek.

 

[nebmike]

Its hard to beat a 627 as an N-frame carry gun...

This ones not stainless but the hard chrome kind of looks like it. I know you guys have all seen it before, but as promised, I have new pics. It's my Austin Behlert custom 25-2, I just got it back from Pinnacle last week. I sent it to Mark to give it a good going over and tune up. He fixed a little end shake and a loose crane ball detent and I had him put in a second ball detent at the top of the crane and chamfer the charge holes while he had it. It's one great shooting, great carrying gun, everything you'd expect a Behlert revolver to be.

Here she is with new Pachmayrs, they conceal a bit better than the wood grips-

And all ready to go out on the town in her Mernickle holster-

I NEVER get tired of looking at that gun, it's gorgeous.
