no dash 29
Been a productive couple weeks but I am broke now. A gun trading buddy of mine was at a local show and sent me a very bad cell phone pic of this 29. I said I was probably interested. It is gorgeous. But it was sporting Hogue rubber mono grips. I have utter disdain for rubber on classic guns. I have a couple extra sets of Culina smooth coke targets and this set compliment it nicely. SN puts it around 59-60. I will have to get back in line for ship date next week.

Looks great, hope you got the $600-$700 discount for the missing "cokes." Those Culinas look pretty terrific too.

29
I think I did. Considering what the few no dash 29s I have seen listed were priced at the discount was about 50%. Now to find a -1.

A 4 inch to boot, they bring a bit more as well. I love the shine of the old S&W bluing, congrats on the purchase.

That’s a real “looker!”
And, those Culinas are equally stunning, Gary.
Congratulations on a sweet score!

Congrats on your find! Those grips look exceptional! Hopefully there's a 4 inch blue M-29 in my future. They're pretty hard to find.

Great looking 29. The grips remind me of Zebra wood that Dan Wesson put on their revolvers. Don’t let that piece of art ever go.

Beautiful 29 and John Culina is a real artist. My Python is waiting for delivery of its Culinas this coming week.

Absolutely beautiful. Jealous. I have a .44 Magnum (pre-29), S169xxx, that is blued with that high gloss. Would love to have a short one like that as well.
