A local auction has the model 29 and it looks to have a 5" barrel. I am partial to 5 & 5 1/2 barrels. The info I find on the net is a few yrs old, but I think it will command a high price. Any opinions on the gun and price will be greatly appreciated.

A nice 5” 29-5 Classic I’d expect to command in the neighborhood of $1500
My thoughts too. This particular auction brings some high prices. From what I have read on the interweb the -5 is the pick of the litter of the model 29. Anyone here own one or have an opinion?

-5 or -6 both tops. The -6 will have the new/current extractor and rear sight assy.
The -5 would have shipped with the silver medallion Hogue grips. The -6 without the silver medallions.
5" barrels are the most desired in the 29/629 pre lock classic series revolvers.
The 5" full lug is seen as the ultimate combo of carry ease and recoil mitigation.

I did paperwork on a 8 3/8” 29-5 classic yesterday. It came with a 2-7 Burris scope, docs, rear sight in a bag, no box. 800 bucks out the door. Probably not the normal going rate but proof good deals are out there if you scour the online classifieds.
Thanks, that gives me hope.
You did great!
