Them VZ grips are freaking me out man! But seriously folks how are they as far as comfort, grip, etc.?

Sooooo... wait.. Is the lock delete like fight club and we're not supposed to talk about it?

March of this year, 2020, I ordered the S&W M29. Something I've wanted for a long time. I found it not only to be beautiful but dead on accurate. My impression soured quickly after the first cleaning with Hoppes No.9. Apparently the new bluing cannot hold up to ammonia. The older M29's are rock...

Ok how about this. Is anyone thinking about trying it? I'm going to be doing the "Lock delete" but just thought this was interesting as is with anything new you learn.

Before beadblasting my 629-6 i broke it down completely and when done put it all back together..... except the "Lock Arm". I did this on purpose because I thought... "I know when the gun is locked on a count a I can't pull the trigger!" <-- this is in no way safe at all I know It was just an...

I was the guy who said S&W stated not to use Renaissance Wax. It was, and still is, in an email sent to me from them. I was inquiring about the blueing and if it was ok to use Hoppes and Renaissance Wax. The answer to both was no. But!!!!.... I've contacted them before via email and have felt...

Smith and wesson can help you with that. Send a Message The link takes you to their help ticket system.

As it applies to the Renaissance Wax I’m right there with you. In fact before I sold the 29 after getting it back from S&W to get it reblued I waxed it. And it was beautiful.

I absolutely 100% feel your pain. I’ve wanted the 29 forever but ended up going the Glock route. Of course when I finally spring for the 29-10 PC I screw it up with hoppes. That gut shot after spending so much, firing it and falling in love all over again, then cleaning it only to end up with...

Had a blast. I had a blast! But seriously folks I love the way it turned out. I ended up using Glass Bead AH 170-325. I broke down the gun completely to include removing the ejector rod from the cylinder and the rear sight. After the blasting I blew the gun out completely, used a toothbrush to...

I can read what you're implying and I'll take that with a grain of salt. I inquired with S&W about using Hoppes and Renaissance Wax. Their reply Hoppes: An ingredient you should stay away from is Ammonia or the byproduct of ammonia. This will eat away at the finish and material. Its very...

The blueing on the new guns is not the same as the old guns. I’m not sure when they changed it but I can assume it was an EPA mandate. Prior to this new 29-10 I’ve owned blued shotguns and rifles and used hoppes due to it’s cleaning ability and damn it I’ll say it. The smell. Do some googling...

I purchased a 29-10 6.5 a couple of months ago for hiking / back packing with the wife in the Frank Church wilderness here in Idaho. But that damn thing was too pretty and a real bitch to keep clean. “Don’t use Hoppes for the love of Pete you’ll ruin the blueing” is what I wish someone would...

I’m not a “Gamer” but Cabelas sounds like gamestop. And Phuck Cabelas when it comes to selling your guns you’re better off selling privately or on gunbroker.com.

CRAAAAAAAAAP!!! On March 10th I purchased a model 29-10 6.5in. Barely over two months later I purchased the 629 6 in. It's an affliction you can't get rid of. My reasoning was the 29 was just too pretty to take on my backpacking trips in the Frank Church wilderness. But.. I can tell you if you...

I ordered the "S&W N Square 'Coke Bottle' Target American Walnut Checkered with Bronze Medallions" grips for my S&W model 29-10. They emailed me stating there would be a wait time of 2-4 weeks and asked if I wanted to cancel my order or wait. I'll wait thank you. I think our "Starbucks /...

Little bit of an old post but I got the same burn rings on my cylinder. The issue is the rear sight front screw is not long enough and leaves a gap, albeit tiny, that allows for this burn. S&W offered to send me a screw to fix the problem with explicit instructions to be very careful when filing...

I shot Cowboy Action Grizzly 44 Special 240 Grain and boy and howdy were they smoky. Sweet shooting but smoky.

Many will say they’ve used Hoppe’s since they were knee high to a grasshopper with zero issues. I agree with Herky Bird and just use CLP and or One Shot. Guns are blued for protection from rust and have the added benefit of looking Dirty... Harry... Heh heh...

I have a gap on the lower lug to the frame and I’m wondering how other 29-10’s compare or if they have a gap at all. Attached is a lovely picture from S&W’s site that shows where I’m talking about. Notice there is no gap. I’m not attaching a photo of my own because the gap is... well let’s say...
