New 4'' 29-2

[ColdBlueSteel]

Well, new to me anyhow. Been almost 9 years since I sold my only ever 4'' Model 29 and I'll never make that mistake again.

Coldblue, I know exactly how you feel about selling off a 4" 29-2. A few years back I was bitten by the competition bug, and decided I just had to have a Les Baer Premier II, for USPSA and IDPA. The only way I could afford the Baer was to sell off one of my .44's. I sold off my 4" nickel 29-2, and have regretted it ever since. Don't get me wrong, the Baer is a superb gun,far more accurate than I am, and it has been totally reliable, which is vital for a competition gun. I just miss the beauty of the nickel finish and the balance of that 4" 29-2. If I ever get a couple of bucks together for a safe queen, it will be another nickel 4" 29-2.

Thanks guys, I am very excited to have a one back in the stable, I just love the look and feel of the 4'' N frames. Perfect vehicle for some handloaded .44 specials.

Beautiful gun. Gonna shoot it?

Thanks Jim, and oh yes, first thing tomorrow.

That is gorgous. So many classic guns like that can't come into California so they can't be found. Everyone here is hanging on to them. I did see a 4" 29 at the gunshow but it was a -3. And I wouldn't get near one without recessed chambers. I really can't afford to be this snobbish but just look at your gun and you see my point.
Congradulations on finally getting another one. I did pick up this 29-2 last week. My first choice was a long nickel -2. Found one! Now I'm looking for one like yours.

4" 29-2's just speak to me. So do 3" N-frames. I don't think i'm alone.
Congratulations!

While the 29's have the power, if you want real fun, a 4" 25-5
is a real blast with the 45 colt. And you can load them pretty hot has
well as down also. Them big holes are fun.

I don't have a 4 inch n frame yet, closest is my 3.5 27-2. Those 29-2 always look nice. When they are in nickel they just call to me. Congrats on a nice smith.
