4” 29 No Dash comes home

[Masterbuck54]

I picked this 4” 29 ND from my FFL yesterday.

Doesn’t appear to have been fired much at all.

Has a few minor handling scratches.

Tried to get outside before the rain moved in to take some photos but didn’t happen…sorry for the poor photos.

Luckily I had a set of stocks to put on it.

This gun might deserve a set of Curt Harlow custom stocks down the road

NICE! To me, those cokes look just right. Hope you enjoy.

Fantastic pistol Pete, absolutely one of, if not, the finest looking modern era N Frames!
I was fortune a few years ago to score a 4” .44 Magnum here on the Forum. I’ve loved that configuration since the original 48 Hrs.!

Really, really nice Pete. Cokes look great but so would a set of Curt's or Keith's hnandiwork.

Masterbuck, that’s a very nice example.

BEAUTIFUL gun....to me the mid 50s to late 60s 4" 29 and 57 are the best guns S&W ever built...

Great looking N frame!

I understand Model 29, but what is ND?

And let’s not forget that elk looks mighty nice on N frames. These are from Ken.

"No Dash", Kevin.

No spit! I glossed right over that!

Thank you, Guy. Stuff like that helps keep me humble.

(Where is that “helpful” icon when I need it?)

Can a man have too many ? I already have multiple 29s and 57s but this post makes me want to rescue some more!

Good job! Great condition. One of the nicest and best N Frames ever!

I hear you. I have every barrel length in blued and nickel in M 29 M57 and M 27. Still looking for others that fit in.. Like stainless pinned and recessed.

Congrats on the adoption. I love the 4 inch N frames and have a 29-2, and two M57's ND blue and nickel. I'm still looking for that M29 4 inch nickel.

Very nice four screw Model 29 !
You will of course require a five screw pre 29 to keep it company now....
Of course it never ends ; )

I have been collecting no dash S&W for a while now and I had no idea what ND was. Can't we just type out no dash. How hard is that? I'm old and tired of acronyms on the internet. LOL I always have to look it up.

You think YOU were confused? I thought it was negligent discharge!

I was wondering "who did what?"

Thanks for the great comments and suggestions for alternative stock options.

I changed the title in original post to “No Dash” so not to confuse the baby boomer generation and older

OK...I gotta fess up. I was telling my brain damaged (HER term, not mine) wife about this. She knows little to nothing about guns, and even less about S&W revolvers. As soon as I said "Model 29 ND" she spoke up and said "no dash?"

I'm going over here in the corner now and keep quiet.

I've used the ND abbreviation before, but I understand some of us need a little help from our friends. I am a true baby boomer (1948) and some of the collector colloquialisms can be confusing.

Nice 44 Magnum.
