You'll find some who do not like the 29-3 versions since they are post pinned/recessed era and pre-endurance package era. I've got a 6" 29-3 I bought in 1987 that I really enjoy...it was listed at $200.00, but traded a very worn Beretta 84 with one magazine for it.

Thanks,
I am looking at 6" Classic Hunter. It's Horton Edition product code 101230.
I do not care much about pinned barrel, as this gun is not a collector item.
I do want to know about reliability package which came later in production years. Was it from 29-10? What exactly has been done?

Never mind. Found this excellent read on model 29 which explains it all.

If you like the full underlug barrel, grab it. There aren't many 29 Classics out there, lots more 629 Classics.
I would not worry about the endurance package unless you intend to shoot a lot (thousands) of full power loads through it. I shoot mid range handloads through my 44's, and a handful of full power loads during hunting season.
