I had S&W swap the titanium cylinder for a stainless cylinder I think my 329pd is perfect now it doesnt feel much heavier just a little extra heft feels better in my hand and matches my 329 AK this will become my favorite hiking pistol now I believe. I had no problem with the TI I just like the stainless better I am sure lots like the TI better. But now the 329pd is exactly what I wanted to begin with.

You don't still have the ti cylinder do you?!?!

I tried to keep it they did a one for one swap I had delusions of being able to swap cylinders like I do in my Ruger Bisley 45, S&W said ya cant do that so they kept it

Looks great
I'm a big fan of the mighty 329.
Which loads do you prefer for carry?

Thanks I like your style two is one ane one is none I think I will pick another up after I get a couple out of layaway next month.. cant wait to shoot it with the new cylinder see how it handles...

These are definitely cool guns, and that shiny SS cylinder really looks great! I need to buckle down and get one!

I imagine the recoil is still severe enough to cause permanent damage to your shooting hand with real .44 Magnum loads?

I was shooting the 329 AK BP with 300gr 44 mag with the XGrips it was not bad at all thinking of getting some pachs this time to try out for the pd but the snubbie was pleasant enough to shoot.
