Welcome to the forums. I'm no expert, but judging by what S&W wants for a new one, I'd say you did just fine.
Now post some pics of it so we can all drool...

I've been watching them on GunBroker and at $500 for a nice one, especially if it has its original target stocks, I'd say you did very well.
I was also watching 4" six-shot Model 617s and bought a nice no-dash one so the 629 will have to wait a while...

I just bought a 629-2, 6inch barrel, no box, excellent condition and less than 250 rounds through it.
I payed $500 for it, how do the experts think I made out ?
You did good. Can you post a picture?
ed, i had been watching that for several days and thought about buying it....i need a 4" no-dash to round out my collection but dont seem to want the 4" too badly, i like the 6" and 8 3/8" better....

Gotta love those leading questions.

After seeing several sell for +/-$700 and an unfired one sell for a grand, I decided to bite the bullet. Today, $639 isn't hateful for one of those (said the guy who paid $244.95 for his no-dash 6" with target hammer and trigger brand new...).

You done good. Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum, nice pick-up. What's the significance of your screen name.. Would it be short for 1987 Grand National...
I have a 629-2 with the 8 3/8" barrel. It is one fine revolver. I bought mine with less than 10 rounds through it but I got a "brother's price" on it which was $450. I was offered $600 for it within a month of buying it. But I still have it and plan on keeping it a long time. I think you'll be very happy with that gun. Just don't put any full bore loads in it. They aren't made to take the loads the Rugers will take but IMO they are more refined than the Rugers. I could have easily swapped mine out for a Ruger but I haven't done that either. I've put several hundred rounds through mine now and it hasn't hurt it one bit. Everything is still tight, the gaps are the right size, etc.. And it's accurate to about 150 yards.
Turbo38gn.. yes sir, my baby is an 87 GN, 62,500 original miles, bone stock garage queen. Second owner, weekend cruiser.
That's awsome..... I kinda like the GN's too. I own a few, but mine are a little bit modified. My 86 TType runs 8.30@168mph in the quarter mile, and it is still a 6cyl with a little bit bigger turbo..
Kind of a weekend cruiser too, 1\4 at a time.

Jack,
Who's GN was broke on the side of RT 57 last night?
Not one of yours I hope!

Ouch, it was me and my son. Went out for a quick tune-up on a 750hp motor.... ran into a few issues...
And I was packing my favorite 1911Sc with some new pearl grips I picked up from Walter...
Model 629-2 6" for $500.00 ??
