Likewise. My last purchase was a 5" M41 barrel drilled & tapped.

Thanks, Bill . . . Looked at the "Hush" on the web. Looks like it might work . . . kinda' pricey for a nylon holster tho. I also looked at Uncle Mike's version of a chest/shoulder holster for a scoped revolver with 8" barrel. Seemed too complicated for me but maybe that's necessary to get the...

Thinking of either a crossdraw or a chest/shoulder holster. No experience here at all. Help needed! Thanks . . .

I totally agree that it shouldn't be there . . . but doubt that most folks (probably including me) will take the time & trouble to return the revolver for adjustment. So . . . S&W gets away with another PP job of final tuning . . . and on a Performance Center revolver . . . totally not...

Is this a potentially serious problem? I bought a new Performance Center 627 only yesterday and have fired about 40 rounds so far. In cleaning the revolver last night I noticed some rub marks on the L/H side of the hammer. Not very attractive, but functionally I wonder if it will really make any...

Yes it was and I'm happy to own one of them. Also have a Model 34 4" kit gun, the 5" Model 63 and a 6" Model 17. It's fun to stage a little shooting match . . . 4" vs 5" vs 6". I have done this a few times and results are always as expected. The 6" shoots the tightest groups, followed closely by...

Thanks, Kernel. Got 'em ordered. The Brownell folks helped me pick the correct height. Their "CHAT" feature is worthwhile. Brownell shipping estimate is 7-10 days so it will be a while but I'll let you know how the mounting job works out. Thanks!

I have zero experience with mounting scopes on S&W revolvers. That said, I need to mount a 1" diameter scope on a Model 629 Performance Center revolver SKU 170181. The revolver has an included rail that mounts to the barrel with four screws. Can anyone out there point me in the right...

I've been wearing an Omega Seamaster daily for over ten years. During that time I have fired a few thousand rounds of .38/.357 mag ammo, several thousand rounds of .45 acp and several hundred rounds of .44 magnum while wearing the watch. All they ever did for my Omega was keep it wound...

Appreciate the encouragement, folks. I called Millett and didn't learn much. If anyone has specific steps to make the Millett mounts fit the 29-4 I sure would appreciate your comments. Right now I plan to give a set of the Millett medium steel rings a try. Don't mind using a very mild .44 Mag...

Stopped by the LGS yesterday for another look at the M29. Long story short, came home with it. Turned out it was a consignment deal . . . the shop owner was selling the M29 for a friend who happened to be there. Made an offer of $750 which was eventually accepted. At that price, I can live with...

Well, shucks . . . :( I have done exhaustive research and the varmint and fishinfool are correct. S&W made the 29-4 for about a year and discontinued it because the scope mount grooves and available mounts were not able to handle the recoil generated by 44 magnum loads. Nor are ANY mounts...

Thanks for the info, guys. I called the shop and asked them to hold the 29-4 for me. Will pick it up early next week. I already have a Thompson Center handgun scope that will mount nicely on the 29-4. This probably means I'll end up with a chest type holster setup for local deer hunting and the...

Dropped by the LGS this morning . . . he has a Model 29-4 in almost mint condition but no box, tools or paperwork. Turn line on cylinder barely visible and zero wear on blueing. The revolver has what I call the target trigger and target hammer. Quoted price out-the-door is $850. Do I need to...
