What kind of work do you need to what kind of firearm?

What are your 25-9 barrel lengths? Cylinder type and finish?

629 MG. Second runnerup would be 624 or 629 4". Nuff said.

Rusty Sherrick makes a great product. C. Rusty Sherrick - Field Holsters

Gene is a master S&W restorer. I heard that he was no longer in the restoration business, but he is worth a call. He is the best for this kind of work: Gene Williams WGR (formerly Williams Gun Repair) 129 Wood St. Princeton Texas 75407 (972) 734-6699 home (214) 673-5510 cell...

From a previous post on M24 through -3 by board member BUFF: BUFF Posted 26 January 2006 08:36 PM "The Model 24's formal name is the Target Model of 1950 or .44 Hand Ejector Fourth Model. It began manufacture in 1950, hence the name. S&W started model numbers in 1957, and it became the Model...

Don't do it! Keep it stock. You'll thank me.

What Okie John said. The old purists prefer the hammer-mounted firing pins while others prefer the frame-mounted pins, which is suppose to prevent the potential "wallowing out" of the frame's firing pin hole. There really isn't much difference in function except frame-mounted pins absorb a...

Semi-auto (CCW): H&K USP .45C Glock 27 BUG Semi-auto (Woods): Glock 20 or 29 10mm Revolver (CCW): S&W 696 ND S&W 442 BUG Revolver (Woods-Black Bear): S&W any Mtn. Gun; 624 3 or 4in. Revolver (Woods-Griz) Ruger Bisley or Redhawk .45 Colt

Sold my 629 Classic 3" (didn't like the unfluted look) and replaced with a 624 3" and a pair of 696 NDs ... the sure cure for revolver CCW.

Ditto. Better to get the Endurance Package on a shooter rather than worry about the type of steel. SS is easier to maintain the finish, but blued guns do just fine with the proper maintenance. It all boils down to availability, personal preference and price.

Very nice piece Gary 7 At the top of my wish list is a nice 681 .44 Spl conversion by Dave Clements

Don't know the specific answer to your question, but .... all of the 29-2s that I've owned came with the .500" Serrated Target. But many of my owned 629s came from the factory with the .400" Smooth Combat. While most double-action shooters choose a narrow, smooth trigger, Jerry Miculek...

From the "for what it's worth department": A friend just received his Model 13 M&P K-frame .357 Mag back from the factory. At our last range session, his cylinder seized up. He had split the forcing cone with a steady diet of magnum loads. S&W replaced the barrel ($300) and suggested that...

Roger the Ruger. Same with me. I'm "saving the Smiths" with a .45 Colt Ruger SS Bisley, a custom .45 Colt Hunter by Ham Bowen and a .45 Colt Redhawk by Jack Weigand (when he was still doing custom work). I do have a 629-3 with 5 in. full-lug barrel that is more robust with the EP upgrade. But...

S&W 625-6 .45 ACP Mountain Gun Highly desirable and hard to find. Owners like me won't part with them. FYI this model comes with MIM parts, frame-mounted firing pin and NO LOCK. Good luck in your search.

Man, that takes some big ones to call out Mr. Linebaugh, a world-class gunsmith who has forgotten more about handgun engineering than all of us forum members put together.

Model 29-3 Silhouette is an acquired taste, originally by silhouette shooters back in the day. The heavy loads being used for that sport were taking a toll on all the little parts required to keep the N-frame operating properly. Cylinders were rolling back under heavy recoil and the guns were...

Geez ... get a Ruger and save your Smith for milder loads.

Lou Horton Heritage series I purchased this same model. As I recall, the MSRP was around $950 and I paid around $700-750. IMHO, these were the last of the great, beautiful Smiths -- non-lock, non-MIM and with the latest engineering upgrades. Unfortunately, they did not sell well because of...
