Do ya feel lucky, PUNK? I DO!

Although I recently purchased a S&W model 29-3 in nickel a few weeks back, I still felt I was missing something. It's a nice gun and all, but I have always had a fuzzy feeling for pinned and recessed Smiths. Well, what is one of the all-time most famous P&R Smiths? You got it, Dirty Harry's 29-2 6.5" 44 mag.
Met up with a member from PAFOA today and did a trade of a Glock 17 + cash. Nice guy. It's a sign of how old I am when ppl don't look on these old revolvers the way I do, but I aint complainin'.

Nice!! Congrats on a good trade! Ok, great trade!

 

[JP@AK]

Yes! A great trade - a modern plastic pistol (no matter how well made and functional) for a classy classic is what I call the best kind of trade. Way to go!

That 29 really looks impressive in a photo shot from that angle. I had to look twice to convince myself that was a 6 1/2" barrel. Looked too long at first.

Nice!

Nice gun! That's the ONLY gun that I'd like to own with a barrel longer than four inches.

 

[WardenRoss]

Congrats!

Only took me about twenty years to find a clean example. Gotta love a Dirty Harry Smith!

 

[Malpasowildlifer]

Helluva trade! I recall when I held the first 29-2 that I purchased

 

[snubbyfan]

You mean you traded a plastic fantastic wonder nine for an old fashioned, obsolete, pinned and recessed, carbon steel, blued beauty, classic wheel gun?
Works for me.

Congrats on a great trade. Nice little packin gun you got there. I would trade any of my plastics for something like that

 

[moosedog]

A true iconic classic. Good trade.

The Glock's a good gun, but it has zero personality.

You should be charged with grand larceny for that type of theft.

 

[NMPinNYC]

That revolver has a classic soul to it while the Glock you traded away has a business character to it. Both viable and both useful and approachable; yet I'll admit that I'm a soul man...

 

[SPEEDGUNNER]

I didn't see that on PAFOA...dang!

 

[Quakertown]

You should be charged with grand larceny for that type of theft.

I actually did feel guilty for doing this deal. I included 4 - 17rnd mags, Glock box and acc's, and 300 cash. He included an extra Pachmayr "gripper" grip, a speed loader, and 3 full boxes of brass cased 240gr lead "cowboy" loads ammunition that he said was "smokey".

Congrats on your find! I've got a 6 1/2 nickel M-29 (built in 1973) and it's my favorite revolver. Enjoy!

 

[srsmyth]

Very nice find ! Very nice trade too. If you start feeling sorry about it I'm sure you can find another Glock 17. Or 19,22,23, etc.

 

[Twogunnes]

Nice catch. Nothing like a 44. Be it a Magnum or Special.

 

[66Park]

Very, very nice!

 

[Pilgrim]

There were two people involved in that trade. One was very smart, the other, not so much.

Good going !
