Does anyone remember the Mod 29?

[M29since14]

...Did you trade yours away for 357's and 22's or do you still keep one or two for old times sake?

I still have all mine and shoot them more than I do any other revolver.

If it wasn't for Highway Patrolman's and Mod 27's, there wouldn't be any N frames on the front page!

I know, I'm eat up with the K 22's like everyone else is, but what got me INTO S&W's was those big ol' 44 magnums.

Those are very nice. I have never owned one but hope to one day.

Where's Curtis?

 

[Zilmo]

I've owned a few 29's and 629's over the years, but I don't currently. While they are beautiful to look at, shooting them was never a lot of fun for me.

well two weeks ago I put 50 rounds thru my new to me 29-3 in 66 inch. I really love those 29's so no reason for this to be a past tense thread. I'm looking forward to some of those p&r 29's in the near future. oh yeah, got a few layers of skin rubbed off but really the recoil was not all that bad. I think a 29-2 6 inch in nickel is one of my favorite guns to look at.

Thank you 29-14! I was hoping a few of the 240 gr crowd would show up.

PS

I would NEVER trade a 44 for a 357

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

My lone Model 29. I am not nearly as advanced as you collectors, but I guarantee I give my only .44 all the attention it can handle.

Just today, another member and I were rolling bowling pins around at the 100 yard line with our .44s. No better fun that that, at least with your clothes on.

 

[fat tom]

I think that's the first time we've seen that pic Chuck. I ain't seen that many cokes since the last time i stopped at the grocery store.

I only have two S&W .44 magnums, a four inch 29-3 and a six inch 629-1. I will be ruled a heritic for this but I am more accurate with my Ruger Super Blackhawks with the Mag. I think it's a recoil management thing as the single action is much easier on my hand!

Sir, I have kind of a love/hate thing with .44 magnums. The guns themselves are lovely, and I absolutely hate shooting them with full-power ammo. I've owned a half-dozen or so, but never shot any of them much or kept them very long. I'm much happier with .45s, .38s, and .22s. Yes, I could handload the big .44 down to a reasonable level, but then it's into .45 Colt territory, and I already have a .45 Colt.

Still, the lure of the .44 mag is strong, and I'm probably about due for another. It's a sickness, I think.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
