So, it's just not me... Just bought a second hand 625 JM. Clips or no clips doesn't matter.

Really nice holsters.

Forgot to insert the metering insert into the rotor once (actually twice, first and last time). Couldn't understand how I was able to spill the powder when pouring it into the reservoir. Took a while before I understood what happened. Cleaning up was not fun!

I wish I could get my hands on a 625.... Nice guns!

I chose a 6,5 inch blued. Did not regret that.

Hmmm... This short supply thing is not a good sign. We even have problems here in Norway getting our hands on American made bullets.

Favorite .45 ACP load at the moment I am currently using 5.0 gr VV N320 and a 200 gr SWC in my SIG P220 X-Six. Works like a charm.:)

Ringed barrel My 686 2,5 inch have a similar ring in the barrel, and I never had a stuck bullet (in that gun). My 640 also have a similar ring. Seems like this, as other have commented, is due to the torquing the barrel.

M29 cylinder Back in the mid-eighties I had the recessed cylinder on my M29-2 replaced with a non-recessed. I also changed the barrel from 6 inch to 4 inch, taking care of the barrel-cylinder gap. The conversion worked nicely.

Carbide smoker Bought a carbide smoker from Ray-Vin.com some time back. Nice and fast service, and I live in Norway, recommended :D

And here it is Finaly is there a M29-2 in the house, S/N N43XXX :D

M-29 in Norway Smith & Wesson revolvers are quite "abundant" here in Norway since Colt stopped producing DA revolvers. I bought my first revolver back in 1982 (29-2 6" blue). I had just discovered Elmer Keith and his fascination with the .44 magnum, and I was hooked:D This revolver was sold in...

Production year Your M29-2 S/N N44XX is problably produced in 78. I am about to aquire one myself.

First S & W The first Smith & Wesson was a Model 29 with 6-inch barrel. Still have the barrel, sadly not the rest of the gun.

Bushing on 645 The same happened to my 645 a short time after I bought it brand new. A slight movement developed in the bushing. It didn’t seem to affect the precision of the gun. I later sold the gun, and I miss it.
