629-4

[CWH44300]

Just had this one out for a wipe down
6 1/2" Dash four power port
I haven't seen to many of these in the wild
It's a beautifully finished revolver
My photos do not do it justice, heck I'm lucky to get them rotated correctly
Anyone else have one

629-4 power-port

I picked one up earlier this year. Put a Burris ff2 red dot sight on it. I have only shot it enough to get it sighted in but it has the potential to be the best shooting .44 I have.

Nice
Would you happen to a photo with your optic mounted

Here's a 625 with a Fastfire III.

Here's a pic of mine rodbuster, just not as clean as yours. It was my go to gun for IHMSA field pistol for awhile until an 8 3/8" dash 4 took over duties. That's a Burris FFIII sitting on top.





Both guns sharing a day at the range.

I see the little sad face by the flyer. Some of us would be happy to get that close! Not ME, of course; I mean OTHER people!!
I'm happy to hit the air in front of me!

The nine total shots I have fired through this one.

S&W 629-4 Hunter Plus 7.5" MagnaPorted Weaver style rib

Here's my 629-4 Hunter Plus, with unfluted cylinder, driftable front sight, & MagnaPorted. A very eloquent looking, for a modern heavy (recessed crown & weaver style rib) barrel Hunter. At least that's how I imagine it! Wearing some of Culina's finest!





Bottom revolver is a 629-4 high polished FL snub (sold it).

S&W 629-4 MagnaPorted 3"

Here is my 629-4, 3 3/8" Magnaported.

Seems like a very special & scarce revolver! What would be the product code? Or custom, by looking at the 3 & 3/8" mention? I see the PC stamp, though.

I was thinking the same thing but did not notice the pc stamp

620-6 DX front sights

Howdy,
Does anyone out there know what front sights came with the
DX model. All I can find that there were five in number.
Cheers.
Dave

Very rare
Never heard of it before your post
That's the beauty of the forum, you never stop learning
That looks to be in excellent condition
Congratulations and thanks for sharing

Just going off memory
I have a -6 DX
Gold bead, red ramp and three different height patridge sights for use at different distances

My Lew Horton 3" Unfluted cylinder 629-4

 

[Joni_Lynn]

I adopted one of the those as soon as I saw them available.
This -4 dressed in Herrett's is perhaps my most favored 44 revolver.

 

[65Whelen]

Looking at the evolution and design improvements I think the 629-4 is arguably the pinnacle 44 Magnum. Here's a pic of my -4 5". Love the balance of the 5". Also, an unexpected no dash 29 which I was lucky enough to come across.

 

[Beemerguy53]

Great, just great...now you guys have me scouring the web looking for another 629...arghhhh!

The 29 looks crispy, the deep blueing is absolutely beautiful!
Yes everyone loves the dash 4's and I'm not arguing with them
My favorites are the No dash up to the dash 3's with the -3's for heavy use, has long as you hang onto the rear sight(specific to -3 and hard to find) I haven't lost one yet…
Really the only reason I'm partial to them is the flash chromed hammer and trigger
I just think they look better
This is my 5" -3

Big fan of the troopers and yours are absolutely beautiful !


Heres my favorite -1 dressed in Herretts

 

[daveyc]

I decided many years ago that the -4 was the pinnacle of smith and wesson 44 mags. at least in my book.

For those of you lucky enough to own a S&W with a power port, I have a question.

Does the power port, based on your experience, have a significant effect on recoil?

Thanks in advance for your response.

I reload my magnums down to a hot 44 spl range (about 960 FPS) so I can't notice any recoil reduction. I don't recall ever blasting full house magnum loads out of it so I can't compare. I'm past the recoil junky days. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I was Power Port when Power Port wasn't Cool! Oh, wait a minute
I'm sure that was a song………..
Here is my 629-4 6 1/2" bbl. It was my first 44 magnum Smith and still the love of my life along with a couple of freak 629-5's
a 6 1/2" and a 7 1/2"
