Scored a 3" 629-1

[75Vette]

With all the long tube 44s making their way into the safe poor ol' Hedley was feeling a little inadequate.



As luck would have it, a fellow IHMSA shooter (and mentor) had a sweet 3" 629-1 that he was looking to part with to make room for another caliber handgun. As partial as I am to the long toms I still love a big bore snubby so I couldn't pass this one up.










Here's the obligatory dirty pic with it's younger brother the PC 44 Magnum Hunter.



And now Hedley's a happy camper!!!

That 3"er is sweet! Little Hedley looks quite happy for ya.

Thats a sweetheart for sure, good looking set of combats.
Is it a LH? Not that it makes a big deal. I bought mine thinking it wasn't and come to find out it was in the first batch. Give Hedley a biscuit, tell him it's from the ironworker

Nice Score, Congratulations

On the hunt for one of those myself, they're like unicorns in SE North Carolina, or at least my part of it. Great looking gun!

I gave Hedley the biscuit. He said thanks!! Not a Lew Horton gun. I emailed Earl and he said it didn't fall into the serial number range. No biggie though, still a nice shooter!

Congrats, very nice 629

That's a sweet piece! I now have two and lucked into both of them. The only gun I like better than a 4" .44 Magnum is a 3" .44 Magnum!

Here's mine wearing cocobolo Ahrends. I also have the original combats.

Thats beautiful! I'm currently looking at the Talo Deluxe 357 and 44mag, in 3". Wonder how 44mag would shoot in a snubbie! Lol

 

[Bill In Texas]

Congratulations! I like those stocks also!

I can tell you how 44 mag shoots in a snubbie. It's a handful!! You may have noticed in the pics that I swapped out the combats for rubbers. I was shooting a medium range load that was manageable but still not one to blast continuously. I'm not into the pain thing any more. A 3"er is more suited for a stout 44 spl load.
