My newest, a 629-4 MG

[WNC Seabee]

I heard through the grapevine that a neighbor of a friend of a guy I kinda know from my Rifle/Pistol club was in a bind and unloading his collection...He had a 4" S&W 629-4 Mountain Gun in .44Mag. Called him up, got a price, I said, "that's probably a fair price, but a bit more cash than I have available right now". Before I could even finish, he dropped the price enough for me to reach for the wallet!

Pre-lock, hammer mounted firing pin, box, docs, etc. I'm a happy camper!

here it is!

Dude, I want a 629 MG bad! Nice piece!

Very nice. I just like the shape and feel of the 4" Mountain Gun. I have one in 41 magnum, and even though I have not fired it (yet), I'm always finding reasons to get it out and look at it. Congrats. wyatte

I am pretty sure I suffer from a modest jealousy and a slight dislike. Congrats!

Welcome to the club, looks like a great example of a fine revolver.

I love how Mountain Guns handle. In my opinion, they are the best combination for portability and shootability. My next Mountain Gun will probably be a 629. I hope I can find a seller as motivated as yours. Good score!

Looks as if you made a fine buy. I sure love my 629.

I love my 57 Mountain Gun! This is the second one I have had. Just shot it yesterday.

I have thought about trying to collect all the different Mountain Gun models S&W has produced over the years.

I bet your 629 will be a trusted companion. ENJOY!

That Mountain Gun is a beauty!

Good find...these are my favorite field guns (I have a 629-3 version).

I am interested to know: does your revolver have the broach-cut or EDM-cut rifling? (do the lands have sharp 90 degree edges or rounded edges?).

Nice gun!

I'm new to revolvers so excuse my ignorance but why is it called a mountain gun?

The barrel profile.

I need some help from the experts here. I'm looking at this sweet 629-4 and I'm seeing the S&W logo on the right side plate. It was my belief that the logo was changed to the left side sometime around 1980 ish. The plastic blue box is much later than that.

Don't get me wrong nice gun just need clarification on the logo.

Congratulations!
My favorite hunting/packing revolver is the S&W MG.
The 629-4 was the last series of non MIM, no lock, case colored hammer/trigger .44's. I have a pair of them.
I like the MG so much I have them in .41 and .44 magnum and two in .45 Colt.
One thing I've noticed however; in my hands the MG is the LEAST forgiving in terms of any lapse of concentration or shooting technique. My 4" 629 is much more forgiving in this regard.
I suppose it's the light barrel profile.

Here's a photo (which I've shown repeatedly...)

Those are some pretty revolvers! I love the grips. Who makes them and do you know the wood that was used?
