S&W 29-2 8 3/8

[Mikeylikesit12345]

Just picked this up. Need to get more pics but it is mint. I've been wanting the Dirty Harry gun and was looking for a 6 1/2 but could not pass this up! The bluing is perfect. I don't think it got shot. If so maybe a few times. What do you think it's worth. Didn't get it cheep or maybe I did. No box.

I would have held out for the 6 1/2". JUST KIDDING. I('ve got a nickel 8 3/8" 29-2 from the mid 70s and I think it's great.

Nice looking 44. Around here (St. Louis area) probably around 1200 +or- a little.

Very nice looking Model 29-2. I do like the long barrels. Congratulations on your purchase.

I encountered a 29-3 from 1987 in February, and just had to have it very urgently. I would not be able to put a numerical price tag on a nice blued 29. The important part of the story is that you have it. Enjoy!

Here in Commiefornia that gun would sell quickly if it was less than $1500 out the door.
If in a gun shop that had to charge tax plus the $47 DROS fee, it might have to wait for someone who wanted it badly. But even then it wouldn't be around for long.

Lol. I figured I would grab it so if I did want to trade it for a 6 1/2" I could have something to start with. Didn't expect it to be this nice. The guy was the original owner and bought it 1 week after he watched the movie.

The 8 3/8" get no love. Best shooting .44 of the bunch. This 29-5 came in the same exact rug. Guy wanted to nix the deal unless I gave an extra $5 for it. Enjoy that gun. Joe

It's worth what you paid for it.

Why is this so much?!

 

[Rocket3]

As long you had cash who cares. Enjoy! Great looking revolver.

They know a certain number of buyers are crazy and they're hoping to snag one.

Nice 8-3/8" Model 29. They're sure a lot nicer to shoot than the 4-inchers.

I can't wait to shoot it!

As a collector of 29-2 You should be around $1,200 mint condition no box or papers. Presentation case with tools and papers around $1600. The shorter the barrel add a bit more, nickel add more as well.

Prices are climbing fast.

I think you are pretty close to the current reality AC Man. Just bought a 4" nickel 29-2 for $1500 OTD. I posted it recently and I am happy with it.

The 8 3/8" was used for promotional purposes in some of the Dirty Harry movie posters, so "technically"……

I have a 6" and a 8-3/8 the long one is better for anything past
50 yards.
Price none sell for less than $1000 around here $1200 is the norm.

Wow, that's nice. Hope you'll enjoy shooting it - or will it be a safe queen?

Hey Mikey, here is my 8 3/8th. I installed a Weilan rear sight on it which gives it a great non glare sight picture.

I never shot this Model 29-2 as it is one of the few two-tones made in this model. It was shipped in October 1972. Click on the photo for a better look.
