Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Never was much of a wheel gun nut before, but the others I've owned weren't built as well as this one seems to be. While I still like the bottom feeders, this is a whole different thing!
Here's a pic of the 29. I posted some questions about the compensated barrel in a different thread. Since then I have been learning some about the smith who did the work and refinish. Still undecided if I will have the barrel changed or not but for now I will shoot it and enjoy it.
