629-2 Mountain Revolver score

mbliss57 · Dec 21, 2020

629-2 Mountain Revolver ...I bought this today. Dates to 1989 and the box, docs and sales slip were included. The only non original part are the stocks. These are cheap from India. I believe these shipped with Pachmeyer Grippers. The gun looks unfired but I think it likely was a little. It certainly was never fired much. I like this model better than the Mountain Guns they produced later. (629-4) The (629-4s) have a faint etching in them that says Mountain Gun...this 629-2s barrel is unmarked.. but they are the same gun as far as I know except for the endurance package. I am quite happy with this purchase.

Score indeed! I'm probably not the only one who'd love to see pictures of your find.

That one looks really crisp
Nice find
Hope you don’t mind me saying
But man
You are racking them up

I love it!
Looks like you’re sites are set on the king of sixguns
And I’m all about the 44
Good for you!

Happy holidays

Merry Christmas to you! Very nice looking for such an "old" pistol

Wanted to add a note about the grips
Mine was looking pretty well used when it went to mag na port
But if I remember correctly it had k frame size Pachs with a gold medallion and a little cut out in the bottom to read the serial number.
When it came back it was looking so fresh, I treated it to new pair and at that time the medallions were silver colored.
Which I think look better anyways

Welcome to the club! The Mountain Revolver is the handsome father of the Mountain Gun. Looks like mine was shipped the day after yours.

Here’s dad with his 629-4 sons.

I was able to get one earlier this year. It came with the Gripper but I swapped it for some Ahrends boot grips. Sure, the Gripper soaks up recoil better but lack soul...

I have a couple more heading my way too. More to come... next year the way the postal service is running.

I have 2 mountain guns now the 629-2 Mountain revolver and a 629-4 Mountain Gun. The 629-4 is gun only.

I thought I had a set of Pachs for it but in all my stash I don't have the right ones. I will order just so it's right as it was produced. I will put something else on it for show and tell.

Wait - there was an entire MOUNTAIN GUN STORE ?

Nice gun. I hope to add one to my modest collection someday. I find it to be one of the best-looking stainless N-frames ever made.

They shipped with modified K frame Pachs, I suppose they hadn't started making N frame round butt grips yet.
I managed to get ahold of one a couple of years ago and had Dawson Precesion build me a Patridge sight with a tritium vial. And Patrick Grasshorn made a nice set of elk horn stags for me, and then I added a Tyler T-Grip.
It shoots real nice with 200 grain Speer Gold dots in .44 special. I have to admit my groups open up quite a bit with 240 grain magnums.
Good gun.

Congratulations! You're doing quite well on .44s lately. Let me know if you need the perfect rifle to go with them.

I bought one when they were first announced. All that CHEAP etching has long worn off from use and riding in a holster. Great gun.

The original Mountain revolver had rollmarks, the Mountain Guns had the cheap laser etching.

Let me know if you ever get tired of owning those grips.

Kansasgunner · Dec 22, 2020

Sold my first 629-2 Mountain Revolver several years ago and always regretted letting it go. I had an opportunity to replace it in October. This one came with the factory Pachs on it. But I’m a wood grip guy so I added Kim Ahrends retro bananas in Cordia wood with a Tung oil finish. These are great shooting guns and this time of year I CCW mine in a Galco Vertical Shoulder rig. Cover it with a loose flannel shirt.

You found yourself another nice one. You have been piling them up, and that's a good thing. Something about the 44 mag that's addicting. Congrats and a Merry Christmas to ya.
