My Best .44 Magnum *** UPDATED***

[NT430]

Chuck,
Thanks for the photos of a really - really nice .44!!! and case and patch......
I expect that we'll see many more photos from that new camera.
ps. You don't see a set like that everyday!

 

[Geronimo Jim]

WOW...unbelievable conditon. Beautiful!

Very nice gun.

When do we get a range report?

BTT - I can't believe it!

* NIB .44 Magnum

* with box & tools

* Buffalo Head patch

* It's in Warwick, NY and NOT in Casper, Wyoming

What a "prize!"

J.C., if it wasn't an August gun, I'd send it your direction. There were fewer August shipped .44 Mags than in most of the other months except for the first 3 months of 1956. S&W took a two week break in August so that's probably what was the reason for that. I'm still trying to get together a display of 12 pre-29s, one from each month in 1956. I still need a Feb, July,and Oct shipped gun and I'll be able to put it all together.

BTT! It's just past it's 52nd birthday. I was waiting and expecting to see this .44 on August 26th! It wasn't there, so I took some action!
That's a beautiful gun Chuck!

The slight palm swell on the "cokes" makes for a more comfortable grip. Why, oh, why did S&W stop making them?

what dreams are made of... very nice

 

[Beruisis]

I would give up a whole bonus check for that 29.

J.C. I posted this gun earlier in August so you must have missed it. Here is the link: It's still the best one I have condition wise.

Beautiful revolver - exquisite find. I won't look at it again - I seem to mar blued guns just viewing them, thus my penchant for SS.

I will offer the following as anything but eye candy, the Infernal Lock and Hoque .500 Magnums, although the latter is highly functional, prevent that. It is my favorite .44 Magnum - I can blast away with abandon, from my ferret flatulance .44 Russians to those 180gr UMC SJHP .44 Magnum screamers, just not without cleaning first. It is a user. It has seen some rounds in my 3+ years since I bought it new. No one will ever present it with anywhere near the pride of ownership of that fine '29', of course.

The other end of the spectrum - for calibration purposes only.

PS What a keeper you have!

 

[NT430]

Chuck, a combination of awe & senility! I just can't get enough pic's of your August .44 and then I forget about it!

 

[catdad]

A fine example of S&W at it's best

 

[RABULL]

Beautiful!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us.....

 

[wraco]

A Real Treasure. . I do like those grips.

BTT - a older post but some truly fine pictures of Chuck's (29-1) August '56 .44 Magnum....
geez, this is a beauty....
A final look....

 

[29-1]

J.C. thanks for the memories though I think I've swapped those extra nice stocks around on about every 44 Mag I own. Wish I had 11 more just like them

[NT430]

Senility...dementia...alzheimers...whatever it's called, I have a severe case and completely forgot about my favorite Pre-29! I "think" this is the last time I'll BTT!

 

[ditrina]

I've just shown these pictures to my Highway Patrolmen.

And all the while I'm saying SEE! See what you could have BEEN!

Outstanding Chuck.

Being born in August of 1956 ,it hurts me all the more. But I am happy for you.

Regards ,,,Al

Now THAT's Funny..

Chuck, They don't get any better than that one. Great .44. Would you send it to me so I can have a better look at it? I promise that I will send it right back!
