I am 69 years old and have been collecting since I was 18. Here's what I have told my wife and children: "When I'm gone, lay them all out on the floor. Oldest gets first pick, then the middle child, then the youngest. Oldest child picks again, and so on. When they run out, they run out...

I have a 629 Classic DX with an 8 3/8" barrel, along with a 629 Classic with a 6" barrel. Love them both!!

Last year 232,000+ deer killed in Ohio. Less than 1% killed with a handgun. Going to have to try it this year simply because of the challenge. I will use a 629 classic DX in 8 3/8” but will limit my shot to 20-25 yards after a summer full of practice.

I have been the proud owner of a 6" model 28 since 1975. My wife's next husband will have to be the one to get rid of this gem because it will never happen as long as I have breath in my lungs!

Thank you so much for your information. This one will be staying in the family for sure. Any guesses on the value?

I have added a few pictures. Thanks everyone.

I recently inherited what I think is a pre-27, but I'm not sure. It's an N frame .357 with a 3 1/2" barrel and nickel finish. Serial number is S 796XX. I believe it's from the early 50's, but could use some help in identification of it. Thanks in advance.
