Good point about gloves. I have a pair of tactical gloves somewhere. I am going to try to find them before I go to the range again. I will see if they improve my next shooting session with my 629.

I really like the 3" 629. hope I can get one for another "unofficial" birthday present. They are scarce here in South Georgia. I guess those that own them have to have them pried from their hands to part with them.

PA Reb, I couldn't work in a gun store..I'd be broke all the time! Ha!

Jesse, you have the same problem I have. You too don't know when you have too many guns. I haven't broken the code, so I just keep buying more until I figure it out. Oh yea! Shoot .44 spl out of your carry gun unless you are in bear country. Just a suggestion.

Thanks friend. No. The dealer didn't have original box or papers. He said the owner needed cash and had to part with it. I bought new grips, 3 speed loaders, and a handsome Galco holster. What a great unofficial birthday gift; unofficial because I bought it for myself. I absolutely love it, in...

I see the light friend. I was wondering what a practical reason was to own a .500 and you gave it. Griz eat people with small guns. In Ga hiking I carry a .357 or .44 mag. Before I read this thread I thought the .500 was to launch small satellites in orbit or kill elephants on the edge of the...

I am envious. They make a handsome pair don't you think?

You nailed it Bluto. The key to success is to roll with it instead to fight the recoil. That's what I did when firing some hand cannons as mentioned above. A man who tries to hard to fight the recoil will get hurt.

Is the Springfield still available. I have a Gen 4 Glock 19 black (not OD). $525 to purchase still stand to purchase outright and to ship to FFL? What does PM, Bump, and BTT mean? Just curious. I am new to this forum. Thanks.

I purchased a S&W 629-1 stainless .44 mag with 6" barrel a few days ago for my 52nd birthday present. I inspected the gun closely for two days at my local dealer before I bought it and am convinced it is a keeper. The serial number is N926901. Does anyone know how I can determine the year of...

I just bought a S&W 629-1 for a birthday present for myself a few days ago. I was happy until I saw this picture. That 629 comp carry is a handsome gun and is about as perfect a carry gun as can be had.

I was shooting a .357 magnum at a range on FT Stewart in Hinesville, Georgia. A retired First Sergeant sat next to me on a bench with cannons; a Desert Eagle .50, a 45-70 revolver (no kidding), and a .454 catsull. He stole the show when he shot these guns. Literally everyone stopped to observe...
