A pair and a spare-44 magnum style

attachment.php

Someone said "too shiny for them"

Just right for me! I'd even love to see one bright polished!
These are great 629's. Beautiful! And the perfect barrel length!
 
This is a fine collection of wheel guns and makes me want a 44. Currently, I've only had 357s... Choices, choices. Haha.
 
This is my pair and a spare, top to bottom, 629, 627, and 686. All cut for moonclips. I know only one is .44 mag, but my 29's and 629's are all over the place as far as barrel lengths, and these are kind of a matched set!

How do you like the PC models, especially the 629 PC and 686 PC for shootability and carryability? I've been eyeing one or the other for a while...

Thanks!

I like them a lot! I have shot some matches with all 3 of these, but in all honesty I haven't put any magnum rounds through the 629, just mid-range loads. I am carrying it this winter though with a .44 special load in a Kramer horsehide belt scabbard and it carries just fine.

Thanks for the response! I am really considering one just for something different. I like the size of 44 rounds and ability to shoot specials. I don't have a "need" for grizzly slaying 44 mags but the 44 special rounds appeals to my interests in a snub package... but so does the 686 PC since I have a 640 Pro 357... but variety and such is the spice of life, right? Haha.

It would also be an excuse to the wife to finally invest in reloading too... :rolleyes:

They all look sharp, I can tell you that!

This has been like thumbing through the Sears "Wish Book" when I was a kid. :D

I don't have a "pair and a spare" anything. Oh wait. Sort of if I stretch the definition. I do have a pair of 4.2" Colt Pythons, and a 4" 686. That's about the best I can do.

But I sure enjoyed the show here.
 
Best i can do is "used to" have a pair and a spare. Sold one to finance other things. And from back when no one competed for used 696's.

Only have pictures of one gun even though they are a pair & a spare.

My all day every day carry guns (and bow hunting backups) for the better part of a decade.

the above replaced by the 4 1/4" then the 2.75" M69s (for those that don't know - 5 shot L Frame 44 Mags). I have a pair and a spare of each barrel length but only of picture of one each.

I don't have a pair much less a spare, I do have a no dash 629 4" that's been Magna-ported. It wears a set of Curt Harlow "Cokes", I also have a set of killer stags with medallions for it and a presentation case. It's the last S & W that I'd ever part with, learned that lesson the hard way after parting with the first 4" no dash several years earlier. Cost me nearly 2x as much to replace it.
