In my experience, the flash appears well above the barrel and is no more distracting than a normal, out-the-front flash.

A second project that is more subdued than the previous one. This is an early generation 629-4 Backpacker that made a trip to Cylinder&Slide for Extreme Duty fixed sights, crane ball lock, charge mouth chamfering, and action work. I also put the Ahrends grips on it. Front and rear...

Here is a project that I commissioned. This was (in my mind) the ultimate nightstand gun, circa 1995. These two Model 29-4s started with serial numbers only 15 apart (XX54 and XX69). I sent it off to Weigand Combat, who did their "Tame the Beast" package. This consisted of the porting...

VAH4XXX shipped 1994 (Spec. Ord. Code 4049).

He was a big deal in the '90s as a shooting competitor, winning the Masters championships in '92 and '97.

Not nearly as cool, but I once ran into John Taffin at the Cabela's in Boise.

Just concluded a trade with rick2106 with very satisfying results. Communications were clear, frequent, and timely. The item being traded was as-described and high quality. Deal with him in confidence. Rick (a different one)

I'll take the 3 Safarilands and 3 of the Model 29 HKSs. PM sent for payment details.

Rick Devoid at Tarnhelm: Tarnhelm Supply - Gun Safety Add-ons, Smart Guns, Defense Training, Gunsmithing, Expert Witness I have no personal experience with his 3rd Gen work but I do own a Magna-Trigger gun from him that works just fine.

My 4516-2 visited their shop ~20 years ago for a duty action job and carry bevel. It was my first ever "custom" pistol. It still is the standard by which I judge other TDA trigger pulls. I was under the impression that they no longer work on the S&W line but can't confirm that since their...
