A very good friend left me a 629 V-Comp in his will. I was astonished to receive what looks like a brand new revolver. While it does not have a box or papers, it was accompanied by the wrench for the compensator, the non-compensated barrel extension, wood combat style grips, and original Hogue...

Thank you all for the great information and photos. I bought my 629 Mountain Gun in 1996. As others have mentioned, it is a gun I have carried often, but tend to shoot sparingly. That said, it is a very accurate revolver and is pleasant with .44 Specials. I chose Spegel Boot Grips for carry...

Last 2 of 2011 I bought these about a week apart in November. Both of them were on my "must have" list for too long. I am glad I was able to check them off! S&W Model 41 5" Field Colt Python 6" Royal Blue

686 27 24 13

I realize that you asked for magnum .44s, but most of my .44s are Model 24s.

Great thread with great revolvers! Here are my L-Frames:

629, 625 (.45 ACP), and 686 Mountain Guns

I bought one late last year. I only have 100 or so rounds through it, but it shoots very well so far. The action is smooth and the finish is pretty nice. I thought the stocks were OK, but changed them out for an old pair of Bear Hug Skeeter Stocks.

Thank you all for the awesome photos of these great revolvers. Now I really miss mine!

Does anyone have photos of the 1990s era 29 Classic with a 5" barrel? I had one, but sold it off years ago. As with most of my gun sales, I regret letting it go. At the time, I didn't care for the fully underlugged barrel and sold it to get something else, but wish I had kept all the blue...

Mine refers to the battle between the British Army and the Zulus. The bravery on both sides of this conflict made a huge impression on me. I just wish I had spelled it right-Rorke's Drift.

Great Model 10s! Mine is nothing special, a Hong Kong C&E gun. One of my favorite shooters.

I love my Model 18 from 1957 (IIRC). Here it is with a later Model 17.

My "always guns" look good together-HK USP 45 Tac for home defense and S&W442 for CCW. How about 2 fine German 9mms-HK P7 and Sig P6 (225): James Bond Walthers-new and old:

Two .45 ACPs. S&W 625 Mountain Gun and Kimber Eclipse.
