Gents and Ladies,
I tried to search the forum but failed. Alas, I need your help. Thank you in advance.
I have a nickle 29-2 6 inch. SN 6686XX What year was she born?
Thanks in advance...
You accurately describe the recoil. I compared it to hammers hitting the hand in an earlier post.
I have not had the light strike problems you are having. I am sorry you need to send it back, but it is not right. I have shot all sorts of ammo through mine without s problem.

The plot thickens. So is a small amount of 300 grainers fine for practicing for bear defense when one has mislaid his rifle, shotgun, pepper spray, or M181 claymore?
I only shoot this pistol infrequently as it a woods self defense gun. I suspect I have nothing to worry about, especially since the loads are within SAMMI standards.
Thank you for your helpful post. My pistol is dual duty. I use the Gold Dot and Corbon Special loads for urban self defense and use the Corbon full power penetrators in the woods (all tested as in above posts). The Buffalo Boar load you mentioned looks really great, so I am going to try...
DPX .44 Special update.
I tested the .44 special DPX today. This round is stout for a .44 special. It still does not make the 329 comfortable to shoot. It is about 90% of the Speer Gold Dot in perceived recoil for me.
The round was accurate and resulted in only minor crimp jump after 8...
I think you will be happy with it. It is so light it makes a great carry gun. As you note, if you get the 44mag you can shoot specials, which gives you a lot of loads to choose from. My next range report will likely be with specials.
