I Said No More 44’s But......

[Eddietruett]

Since these days 95% of my shooting is .38/357 I promised myself I would not buy anymore 44 magnums. The 2 I have don't get shot enough. Well today I saw this gorgeous Model 29-3 in my favorite shop and since I didn't have one with 8 3/8" Barrel, I decided to break my promise just once! The beautiful Combat grips really helped push me over the edge. The nickel is flawless. Looks like it's only been fired a few times. I will certainly cure that this weekend

Nice. What other hobby can you break your promise and be rewarded?

I see why you broke your promise!
You're forgiven as far as I'm concerned! [emoji6]
It's a beaut![emoji106]

I think the combats would've pushed me over the edge too. You can't have too many 44s. Congrats.

Well, as the bore diameter is actually .429", you really bought a .43 - promise made, promise kept!

That long barrel Magnum is gonna be a hoot to shoot for sure. Color me green. Enjoy it!

 

[edubbie]

Wow, that's what 8 3/8" looks like. No wonder my wife is not math-oriented.

I think you can go to Hell for saying no more 44's.

Very nice.

Hey, it's not like you went looking for trouble, right?

You're going to enjoy shooting that!

I will probably go just as quick for the first lie I told myself when I made the stupid promise. I knew it was a lie when I made the promise!!!

And just which "favorite shop" was this found in?

Beautiful gun! The 8 3/8" ones are great to shoot. I'd have bought it myself.

Very nice!

A good friend shoots a 29-3 and it is very accurate. They get a bad rap for not being P&R but you can't see that when looking down the sights. Vert sharp gun. You did well.

That makes them more affordable.

Sweet! I've been in the hunt for long tube nickel 29 for a while now. Just missed a nice 29-5 the other day. Nice catch, bro!

There's always room for another .44.

You can load up some 180 grain cast bullets at 700 fps and snuggle it into your range bag between the .38s that you shoot 95% of the time. Your .38s will be glade to make room.

All I got with my 8 3/8" nickeled 29-3 was the seller's rattiest set of Targets. Fortunately their wear and tear contrasts with an other wise excellent looking 29-3. P&R always were non-functional sales gimmicks. Not having them just makes it more likely that you'll do more target shooting with it.
