I haven’t, but I’d bet the Hogues are OE. A great gun to have. I presume it is square butt?

I had a 29-2, 4" with Magna ported barrel. It sure seemed to help with recoil and muzzle rise. Bob
Pics or it didn't happen.
Square butt??
Yup
Excellent. 
That's a good looking 29. I bet that porting really helps.

If you dislike Iike really tedious cleaning you should avoid lead bullet ammo. The lead fouling is a PITA to clean from the ports; beyond that, just a few shots will cover your red ramp with grey.
I had a 4" 29-3 that was 98% but cheaper than non-ported models in similar condition.
Do NOT fire that rascal without really good hearing protection.

I know people get all excited about the perceived pitfalls of magna-porting but I’d buy that gun in a NY minute if the price was reasonable, and I shoot lead almost exclusively. That’s a nice find, as far as I’m concerned.

Nice 29 but is that rear sight tightened down?
I see what you mean - will have to check it out.
As I recall it I picked it up at at what seemed to be a good price - around $700 delivered on gunbroker.
I was mostly interested it as it has the strength enhancements and 4" barrel.
Exactly. Decent price, too.
That 29-5 would have came with the wood square butt target grips. Magnaporting not factory.
Nice 29, OP, congrats.
A couple of years ago I picked up this 6.5" mag-na-ported model 29 (no dash).
