Finally took my concealed carry class. It was very interesting, and the time flew by. I passed, so now I need to go to the county police and get that process rolling. Used a Sig P239 and a S&W 686 Plus for the qualifying portion. Connected a lot of smaller holes to make one big hole. One...

Dealer just e-mailed to inform me that the 629 has arrived. I will pick it up tomorrow morning. Yee-hah!

All, After doing a lot of research, I settled on a Model 629 (SKU 163636) with 5" barrel and satin stainless steel finish. I'm really excited, as this is my first revolver. However, with it being my first, I also have some nervousness. First, is there anything specific I should look for on...
