New to Me 29-2

[bpayne]

Happened into this M29-2 a few weeks back and figured I would share some pics. 4" barrel with nice original nickel finish. Seems like these are getting more and more expensive and harder to find, so when I saw this one listed at a fair price I pounced. My first p&r N frame. By my SCSW, produced in 1980. Has incorrect speed loader cut target stocks, but I will find some football cuts to get her right. There is a scratch under the grips from an idiot using the wrong screwdriver on it, but otherwise it's pretty clean. Feel free to comment on whatever you may see Good/bad about it. Thanks for looking!

Looks awesome like all older 29's.Nice finish.

Very nice Sir!!

I love my 4" 29-2 made the same year as your nickel model.

I don't have a nickel Smith just yet... feeling the compelling urge to get one... in m57 flavor..

Thanks Bob and ride red. I had a 629 6" in the past that didn't stay with me, but this one is a true looker! No plans to let this one go!

Thanks SLT. It's my new favorite.

It's beautiful. Try to clean up the front of the Cylinder face. It will make that thing look like a Diamond.

My 27-2 had a front Cylinder like that, but I cleaned it up, and it made it look brand new.

 

[CamColt]

Very nice !

 

[bpayne]

She was spotless until I shot it. She will be cleaned again soon. Thanks for the nice words guys.

Very nice, mine is blue
I shoot mostly mostly specials,12 mag loads and my hand is screaming!!

Beautiful. I recently picked up a 629 and a 29-2. Love them was thinking about selling the 629, but the more I shoot it the more I think it has a home.

Keep the 629.

I have 8 Smith and Wessons, and my favorite shooter is my 629-1.

You gotta love those nickel P&R N frames! That is a very nice 29-2, bpayne. I have a couple of nickel 27-2s myself, one my original pistol bought in 1974 and the other I just bought off GB last month and is unfired.

UPDATE

Finally found the right set of stocks for this puppy. Beautiful set of smooth Targets. Can't tell if they are Rosewood or GA, maybe a separate thread coming on...




Couldn't help but share...

 

[cbjordan76]

Nice choice!

 

[Tom_R]

Nice stocks. I am a huge fan of smooth targets myself.

I believe Gonçalo Alves actually is a type of Rosewood.

Regardless, they look amazing on your 29!

 

[bpayne]

Thanks gentlemen. I believe you are correct Tom that GA is a type of Rosewood, yet they are separate in this crazy wood world of factory stocks right? Appreciate the likes fellas.
