    629 4" vs 629 5" carry black bear country

    My pick is my 4" 629 Mountain Gun. If the 329PD had been out when I was buying .......... I'd bought it instead. Yes, there is recoil ........... but you need to handload to get over the transition and once you are accustomed to the .44 ......... you'd think it was a cap gun if you are in an...

    Model 53 Jet

    My word!! That's a lot money ....... for that I would pack my K22 or model 48 on my side and sling a Contender in what ever on my back! I saw a model 53 in about 80% ...... no idea if it had an extra cylinder for .22 rim ........ but I do kick myself at under $300 ...... that was probably 12 -...

    .32 Magnums Multiplying

    I don't own any .32's but would not mind it. It's always baffled me that with such high prices for these ...... that the Manufacturers don't produce more ...... or are exporting them overseas! A good caliber that's too overlooked! Three 44s

    choosing a smith and wesson for a farm hand

    I'm a rancher and found one gun just did not cut it. My mainstay is the 629-4 Mountain gun ...... we have cougs and bears. But as Iggy put it ..... getting tangled up in machinery and fences is more dangerous on a daily basis than all the "bitty scratchy" critters put together. For CCW ...

    I don't think I qualify for a Smith head but may I fill in for a moment? First off, a BIG welcome to the forum!!!! I bought a 48-4 a few years ago ..... perfect and a 6 inch. BIG BUCKS! I too would have liked a 648 ..... I wanted the gun for dragging around the ranch ....... My 48 is more...

    New 617

    The rimfire cartridges in handguns are notorious for needing a good smack to light off. I'd shoot it a good while before I decided to lighten up the hammer. You'll enjoy your S&W .22 lr revolver ..... they are unbeatable! My sample is a K22 (6 in.) from the mid 50's and it's beat up and loose...

    Long Range 243 load(s)

    I can't anywhere near 3500 with my fav. .... the 75 gr. Hornady HP .... much less get screamers with a heavy for caliber like you mentioned. Winchester brass may have a wee bit more space or not ..... and the Winchester rifle primers .... though good seem to me to have softer cups and show...

    K22 help

    "razor edged accuracy" ............. ....... I like that! I have a post war and it's loose and beat up ...... makes just plain shooters look like safe queens! But it is one thing for sure! ACCURATE! One day, I was going through my paces and just about had it heated up ..... perhaps...

    .44 Mag IMR800x

    I have loaded 800X in my .44s. It looked like a good medium powder but I found it works better at the top end and at that end of the spectrum it delivered more recoil for the power delivered than it needed to. Very sharp in my Mountain Gun. Further to say it's a pain to meter ..... is giving...
