I can't answer your question but that looks amazing,. I have a model 57 no dash 41 mag box papers tools marked factory engraved but still have no clue who engraved it. Maybe a letter?

Thank you for the reply. I will proceed with the Florida permit as recommend. I just want it to wave the 3 day wait. I've never carried in a holster since 1974 hunting hogs. I do keep a firearm in my truck. I live in the woods, drive a Ford F 350 crew cab, diesel 4X4 so I am probably last on the...

I could not agree more and this is where we are at in our older years.

So, have you bought anymore guns since I was here 6 months ago? It was just him, me and the wife. I didn't answer, the wife said oh yea. I don't hide it, but I don't flaunt it in front of her either. She will never notice another gun in the safe. Never ask questions like that in front of the...

Gun guy here 69 years old., yes I know should have applied years ago like my wife and kids did. Question? I keep seeing ads on the gun channels that I can answerer 6 questions and get my permit. No classroom or shooting. All on line and I am preapproved because I live in Florida. Is this true...

I stand corrected. However still prefer the first no dash.

If I have the original box I prefer to wipe it down and store it in the S&W wax paper in the factory box. Guns not in factory box goes in a gun rug. They all work. My 29 - 3 is a bit unusual. It is stainless with factory combat grips, scope rings, wood presentation case with tools and papers...

Model 29 means nothing. What is the dash number?

I have the new 629 Mountain Gun and the grips are fat enough, remember it is a larger frame. However, I have at least XXL hands and my pinkly is hanging off and my knuckle is against the trigger guard. Love the old N frame target and combat stocks. They are the only ones that fit me.

You didn't say if it is a no dash with recessed chambers. That makes a difference. Does it have a - number? I have a 6" Lew Horton edition with combat grips, never fired no turn line combat grips, box, papers, tools, no dash I paid $1250.00 a couple years ago. The 8 3/8 barrel is worth less...

Thanks gdpolk. So it is a nice gun with nice features, but not intended for protection like every other Mountain Gun before it. Still makes a nice target shooter.

I'm not a speed loader guy, but have plenty of them and HKS offers them and they work great for my 41 mags.

What makes a Mountain Gun a Mountain Gun? I always thought it was a defensive gun for large animals that want to kill you that you carry for protection. What am I missing? Don't get me wrong, I actually want one.

Yes they updated the listing from pre 21 to pre 24. I don't blame them though. S&W old guns can get very complicated. It happens.

For what it's worth one of mine that's close serial # 171927 shipped April 1957. To be honest I'm not sure the 8 row or 9 row came with what fire arm, but since either is possible I'm not worried about it.

I have two premodel 29's. I asked the same question on here and was told either one was possible regardless if it was a 1956 or 1957. I have both.

Damn I'm old. That would have been my dad's gun.:D

What do you mean? They are listed in the Smith Catalogue as pre model 21 and 24 just like all my other pre models.

I own a pre model 24 6.5" Model of 1950. 44 special. They have the ramped front sight and rear adjustable rear sight. I found a Pre model 21 model of 1950 for sale and it does not have the front blade and gutter military sights. That is what makes it a Military pre model 21, but the add says pre...

People poo poo the 8 3/8 barrel. I don't know why but I have acquired more of them than any other. If you want it for hunting get the 41 mag or the 44 mag. I have the 357 as well, but the more power the better.
