"beans", you are cruel. I think I must add you to my list of people to hate.
That collection makes me whimper. I don't "need" one of them, but ... wow.
How about a Mountain Gun thread?

Roger Norris,
Do you know the exact SKU number for your revolver? If we can get that, we might be able to ask Smith & Wesson if they have any of the grips that came on your Mountain Gun still in stock. (It helps them look it up if they have the SKU from the gun.) Your grips are really great, and I'd love to have at least one set of those to put on one of my Smith & Wessons.
I recently purchased three sets of the grips that come on the S&W Model 60 Pro-series, and I'm about to buy a fourth set. (One set for my wife's 5-inch Model 60, another set for her 5-inch Model 63, and a third for my 3-inch Model 60. The fourth set are intended for my older 4-inch round butt Model 34.) The grips on your gun are close in shape to the Pro series model 60 grips, so I think they might be really nice on another N-Frame gun. I'd sure like to give them a try anyway.
Thank you for posting a photo of your mountain gun! It is beautiful!

Here's my 629-4.
I carry it in a Dillon/Mitch Rosen pancake loaded with Winchester 210 gr. Silvertips.

On the box is a product number, 163604 and a longer number on the UPC code, 2218863604. Does that help?

I picked up a 629-4 MG a few days ago. I have been into .44s for couple of years and this was the first MG I've handled. The weight and balance difference between the MG and the standard 629 is glaringly obvious. I like it a lot. I put about 60 240g. and 250g. Specials through it 2 days ago and kept them inside an index card at 30' after a few sight adjustments. good enough for me.

I just picked up a Mountain Gun in .45 ACP today.
I ran about 100 rounds of various ammo thru it. It sure shoots good. It seems to really like my Kimber Commander's favorite load, that's pretty lucky!
It's gonna take me a while to get used to full moon clips...

25-13 Mountain Gun wearing Ahrends Retro Targets. The Mountain Guns are without a doubt my favorite N-frames.

I've seen photos of blued Mountain Guns, but I've never actually seen one in-the-flesh. I'd really like to have a new one, and I don't have any hang-ups about having one with the lock. Are any of the distributors out there advertising that they have blued Mountain Guns in stock? I don't care what caliber it is. If I can find a distributor with one, I can point a local dealer towards them and get one.

Mountain guns are my favorite S&W, and it looks like I'm in good company.
When the 629-2 "Mountain Revolver" first came out I bought one, even though I had three other S&W .44's aat the time. It didn't take long for me to trade off the other guns!
I ended up with two "Mountain Revolvers" and a "Mountain Lion". The 2nd 629-2 never shot as well and the "Mountain Lion" was to pretty for me, so they both left.
The original 629-2 has had at least 15,000 rounds put thru it. That gun could tell some tales, it's been carried as bear protection in Alaska, shot squirrels, grouse, deer and elk, it even shot the top out of a tree that was hung up in a power line this last winter! It's been my "go to" gun for nearly 20 years. Just lately I noticed that the trigger pivot pin had come loose, so it's gonna have to go back to S&W.
Well, I have all these holsters for a MG, so I bought a 625-6 .45 ACP to keep me company. What a great shooter. I was sighting it in out back the other day, I fired 3 shots offhand at 50yds to check my sights. When I walked out to check I had a 1-1/2" group!
Now I'm thinkin' I need a .45 Colt.
I guess you could say I'm a fan!

I've got a nice 657 in 41Mag that I load the Hornady 210gr XTP over Blue Dot for it.
No one's mentioned the Mountain Gun in 357Magnum. I've always thought that was the rarest of the Mountain Guns.
