Something about N Frame 4 incher barrels and combat (fixed) sights that really appeal to me. I don't own any, but I sure wish I did! Excellent looking revolvers!

Something about 44 Special Hand Ejectors. I could make a dirty
joke here but I will leave that to you all.
I was lucky to get all 3 624s. Had I the means I would be looking
at some older 44 Specials. It's my main man cartridge.
I have since added the Jordan Troopers to the 4" and have Spegels
on the way for the 3". The 6.5 may get cut to 5" if I win the lottery.
It needs some work.

Great looking guns and pictures. Have a few guns in 44 and a few S&W, but only one N Frame. Surely more to follow. Casting 200 gr. RNFP for the coming years supply.
Code name for the 629 is 'Elmer' and sometimes tell the wife that me and Elmer are going to the range.

6" 629-1 with smooth target grips. IMHO these are some of the
finest looking grips S&W ever issued (the whole line that is).
Mid 1980's.
Unlike the checkered target grips that came standard on these
guns and looked like they came from a high school
shop project and worked about as well, these feel pretty good
shooting full house rounds.

No custom grips or leather, though I've been thinkin' about having a pair of custom grips built for the Mdl 57.
Here's My 629-1, 657-2, and 57-1:

Hogue rosewood. I love the one-piece grips. Makes for easy on/off when cleaning and a great clean look.

This is my 29-3 wearing Herretts Jordan Troopers. The large stocks really take the sting out of magnum rounds. It rides in a Bianchi Cyclone.

This plain jane set of orange (Cocobolo?) factory stocks were made much better looking and 10 times more comfortable in the hand by Forum member VM.
These Pointer stocks aren't exactly custom but you can't buy them new anymore (company's long out of business) and they look and feel pretty good on this much modified 1917 with the help of the Pachmyar grip adapter.
This 4th Model 44 HE Target wears a set of Grashorn Elk Magnas. The Tyler-T has since been replaced with a Pachmyar grip adapter.

I usually wear a light fishing/photographers vest and that conceals it just fine. I am sure an untucked shirt would worlk just as well.....

Not sure I have shown this rig in this thread. Flog me if I have.
3" 624 with Spegel ebony in the original 624 holster. I carry this
combo under a regular coat.
When you order a Spegel, I recommend the custom fit option.
Notice the backstrap fit is perfect.
The belt is a Galco SB5.
