US Veteran
The first handgun in a powdered cartridge I shot was an SW 29 1960's 6 and 1/2" barrel white outline rear red ramp front in full house reloaded 240 grain lead semi wadcutters to Elmer Keith's satisfaction. I later bought my first pistol and used Elmer Keith 250 gr semi wadcutters lead and alloy. That load would shoot through a downed telephone pole from one side to the other and I was with a witness. He was an animal vet that came out to the ranch on occasion in the 70's. Large animal vet.
Now I am in IL with 3 29s from SW:
1. 1985 629-1 8 and 3/8" barrel red ramp front white outline rear.
2. 29-10 6 and a half inch barrel anniversary of intro.
3. 29-10 4" that shoots the best for me.
The photo is my latest SW. 29-10 with some engraving by SW that does little to tell the gun shoots straight with full house 240gr JHPs (Black Hills) and 180 gr Remington JSPs. The latter shoots out the barrel extremely loudly. The 240s give a kick but the noise is less.
I also have these other 29s:
I have 27s, 10s, too for .357 or .38 but the 29 is my favorite to date!
