29-5 44 Magnum II 1990 Recessed Cyl 500 Made?

[AC Man]

Ok I bought this S&W 29-5 Magnum II full underlug, 7.5 barrel, factory Hogue grips, with recessed cylinder, which seems odd since they had not done recessed in years, Info also tells me it is one of 500 made and has a unfluted cylinder. Built like a cannon! This one is unfired, box and papers.

Does anyone else have one or care to share info? I am a older 44/41/357 mag collector and couldn't pass this one up on a whim?

Any Input appreciated?

Nice catch, congrats.
I adopted one like that a few years back. It's one of my favorites.

I read in the S&W catalog 4th addition they were made for Accusport, a large gun seller. However I could not find anything on Google. I was informed it is Acusport with one c an boom. There it is on Google. They went bankrupt from what I read in 2018 when they thought Hilary was going to win the presidency. They over bought and stockpiled supplies only for her to lose. Thus sales plummeted. Interesting story.

I still find it interesting S&W would retool and build a special order of only 500 guns.
