I keep seeing Mountain Guns in .47 lc. Did they ever make one in .44 mag?

Disregarding the standard 4" Model 624, 44 Special, which is awfully close to a Mountain Gun configuration, 44 Magnum was the original chambering of the Mountain Gun series. It began as 629-2 Mountain Revolver, and then evolved into the 629-3 Mountain Gun. There have been several runs since, in both the Model 629, and Model 29. They've also been made in .357 Magnum, 41 magnum, 45 ACP, and 45 LC.

Thanks for the info. I will have to keep my eyes open for one.

The VERY FIRST Mountain Revolvers were chambered in 44 Magnum. Smith and Wesson introduced them back in the early 1990s.

In 1995, the Smith and Wesson Collectors Association chose a model 29 Mountain Revolver as the starting point for the SWCA's 25th Anniversary firearm.

Somewhere in the late 1990s the common name for this configuration was changed to Mountain Gun and they are still called that to this day.

Over the past 25 years there have been several runs of Mountain Guns in 44 Magnum in both blue carbon steel as well as stainless steel.

Mine is a 629-4 Mountain Gun. I also have a regular 629-4 that is not a Mountain Gun and it is about 2oz. heavier. Really cannot tell the difference when shooting them.

I have a 629-5 Mountain Gun in .44 Mag.
It is the first series to have the frame mounted firing pin, and the last before the badmouthed "infernal" locks.
Kind of hard on the wrist to shoot with magnum loads, but should be fairly decent with .44 Specials.

A friend of mine has a 629 mountain gun which he's graciously allowed me to shoot. It's a really nice gun, points easily, extremely accurate, and the perceived recoil is not at all unpleasant.

The first were like S&W chad posted. They were available in late '89. A good friend and shooting buddy bought one as soon as they were available. They came with Pachmayr Gripper grips, frosted finish, beveled front edges on the cylinder, round butt grip frame, and plain black sights.

Here's one from 89. It says 44 Magnum on one side of the bbl and Smith and Wesson on the other.
