Nightguard 327
I carry a 357, 8 shot nightguard. Best revolver I have ever had. Shoots excellent, light, night sights, easy to conceal, and 8 shots of 357, Whats not to like about it?

I've carried a 4" N frame often in a Kramer belt scabbard and his IWB (#2 I think?).
On a good belt I could carry the IWB under a t shirt. I asked cop buddies to try and spot it. Even though they knew where it was they couldn't see it. The guns always had Spegel wood boot grips to avoid the snagging that you sometimes get with rubber grips.
With a good holster and belt & some attention to wardrobe you can carry some big boomers undetected.

I carry my model 21 loaded w/ Hornady 200 grain HP's in a Triple K Pancake along with a speedloader/speed strip. It keeps the bears away.

I have a 627 Pro that I sometimes carry in a Don Hume pancake holster. I like the gun, but it does get heavy by the end of the day. The Night Guard series may be the ticket...
This isn't the best picture I've ever taken, and doesn't include the rig, but here you go. It no longer wears the Hogue Monogrips. I tried some round butt iron wood grips, but they caused a blood blister on the web of my hand. It now wears Pachmyers which don't seem as long as the Hogues.

Although I don't do it regularly, I have carried a 6.5" M29-2 in a vertical shoulder holster (ala Harry Callahan). With the right cover garment, it isn't visable at all. A 4" M25-5 or M624 just disappear in a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake worn OWB, again with the right cover garment. Both of these set-ups are comfortable.

I didn't do it regularly either, but I occasionally carried an 8-3/8" 29-2 in a shoulder holster. Agreed that it does take a suit coat or the like to cover it well.

I'm wearing a new 4" 629 in a new Simply Rugged Pancake, on a 1.5" Milt Sparks leather belt, the holster was in the mail this morning and I thought I'd try it around the house.
With a lightweight, short sleeved cover shirt worn open over a T-shirt, it conceals and carries surprisingly well.
I purchased the above for woods CCW and I think it's going to work out well.

For CCW I prefer my SW1911, but when concealing isn't necessary, I prefer this combo, my 629-2 'Mountain Revolver' .44mag in an old safariland shoulder rig. I happen to be a right-handed person, and this was a right-handed holster, but after a lot of draw-practice I decided to actually 'flip' it, and I wear it on my right side now, as a lefty would for cross draw. I find that my 'cavalry' draw is significantly faster than my cross draw, and also much easier for me to control and limit where that muzzle is pointing between it leaving the holster and the sights reaching the target. Also, I've found that being a righty, it's easier for me to 'forget' this massive gun is there (not entirely, but you know what I mean?)when I'm wearing it on my right side. Anyone else wear their shoulder rig on the same side as their dominant hand? I find it to be comfier, faster, and safer, but I know it's different strokes for different folks. I just got this awesome wheelgun not long ago, I wear a big jacket in the winter, so I might be able to CCW with this rig in the colder months depending on where I'm going and what I'll be doing.

I have a set of Spegel's on the way for this weapon.

Thanks for all replys and pics. I admire those who pack the 6" and longer barrels. I was happy with a 6" 29-3 until I tried the 4" 629 and now the 329pd has me all smiles thanks again and keep the reply's coming
I am new to the forum and I bring a gift. I am a life long S&W fan. My first pistol on my 21st birthday in 1987 was a new 669. I do not have an N frame. I have J and K frames. I bought Hogue Monogrips for an N frame by accident. They are still NIB. The first one to ask for them in this thread and post a pic of their N frame with the request can have them for free. You will need to get your address to me and I will pay for regular mail within the US. My two requests: 1) only ask for them if you really intend to use them, and 2) post a pic with them on after you get them.

What a nice thing to do. Its people like you that make me say gun nuts are the best. THANK YOU
One thanks like that makes it worth doing. Thank you.
Plus you are right, there is something special about gun nuts and all guns, not just our own. Gun nuts know that...
