Model 29 with full lug barrel

[Dixiejack]

Did S-W ever make a Model 29 with a full lug barrel other than in the Classic series?

S&W made Model 29s with a full lug from 1988 (Classic Hunter) to the Classic DX series in the mid-90s. However, all full lug Model 29s are a variation of the Classic series of revolvers.

Thnks for the information. It will help in my search.

other than in the Classic series?

No. And this has always puzzled me. Why make a gun that doesn't look like anything you have ever made before and call it a "Classic?" I've never "gotten it" and I doubt I ever will.
If they wanted to make a "classic" Model 29, it would have 5 screws, a pinned barrel, recessed chambers in the cylinder and grips with diamonds on them. And only the ejector rod would be shrouded.
That's my 2-cent opinion.
Good luck in your search.

full lugged 29

Around the late 80's Lew Horton had some 29's made with a full lugged 5 in barrel and an Unflutted cylinder .I still have mine unfired. I think there were only 500 made.I'm not sure but I know it was a limited run.
