Yep! That M629 sure answered a lot of questions about .45 Caliber Mountain Guns!
WHAT would those questions be, SgtSam ? ? ?

Wish I still had it. It was unbelievably accurate.
I love mine. They are the perfect balance of weight and size.

I will love your MG! I have a 629 and once had a 29 MG (sold) and I can think of no finer handgun to pack in the woods or while camping. I also put the X-frame Hogue's on mine and it really does help with the recoil.
My normal 'outdoor' load is either Georgia Arms 240 gr GD HP or Double Tap's 250 gr HCSW (240 gr in their new listings).
Enjoy your new S&W, it will last you a lifetime.

I was just trying to figure out how buying a 629 .44Mag answered anything at all to do with a 45 caliber Mountain Gun!
I guess I just missed the connection or something! Not knocking the 629, just can't make the connection.

GOTCHA,Sarge. I didn't think there was a connection either. I missed your sarcasm......

Well, the connection was "Mountain Gun" since to me the 45 and 44 calibers are similar because I shoot 45LC and 44 Special. The 629 MG was available at my LGS, it can be loaded with 44 mag and it felt good, etc. That's your answer and your publicly expressed sarcasm is misplaced as well as impolite.

Please don't get your shorts in a knot. I was simply asking a logical question. And, I thought the smiley's would let you, and anyone else, know that it was all in fun. Sorry you took it personally as it sure wasn't meant that way.

Great thread but I have a question: where does the name "mountain gun" come from? Not trying to be funny here, but what is the connection between these guns and mountains?
I've fired a .45 Colt mountain gun and it was great. But, honestly, what differentiates that configuration from any of the half-lugged N-frames that Smith has produced for generations. For example, I have a four-inch Model 27. Looks like a mountain gun to me but no one would ever call it that.
