Ultimate 29 thread

[brokenprism]

Apparently, here it is! Can't believe it didn't already exist, but post away. Can't wait to see the good stuff.

 

[EricR]

By all means, please start one. I'll contribute when I have a minute. Good idea!

Make it a 29/629 thread too if you would. I have one of each.

I love Model 29's, even though they are too big for my small hands and the fact I don't have many.

We can start with an early no dash. Can't find a photo of the blue box, but it came in one.





How about a dash 2, NC SHP Commemorative. First Model 29 commemorative and first (and maybe last) use of acid etching.





And a dash 3





And finally: an old photo of an early pre-29, not pristine and with wrong grips. The gun that started my obsession with S&W revolvers

I only have one, this factory engraved 29-2.

I was told that it was most likely sent to Italy by S&W to have the engraving done.

Well heck, if I can, I'll just change the title of this thread. Off to a good start here.

I just bought a 29-3, nickel plated 6.5" barrel from my local pawn shop/gun range/gun store. I absolutely love it. Every time I shoot it people hear it and come up to me wanting to know what I'm shooting. It's a cannon.

29-3

Love my 29-3. Just got it. It's a conversation starter at the range.

If you don't mind 44 mags before model numbers here is my luckiest find, a 5" 44 Magnum from 1958.

[t4terrific]

My 29-2.

Model 29-2 shipped in June 1974 in its relined presentation case. Second photo is of 44 Magnum, S121836, the first 44 Magnum built in January 1955 (only surviving prototype). Click on the photos for a better look.

Nothing special, but here are mine. An 8 3/8 29-3 with the integral scope mount cuts, a 629-1 that came to me with the shortened, Mag-na-ported barrel, a 1954 Highway Patrolman that Pat Linthicum did a Model 29 barrel and cylinder swap on, and a new TALO Deluxe 629

 

[Dieseltech56]

I'll add mine. I like endurance package guns more than anything else.

Here are 3 29-6s and the top one is a 29-4 classic hunter from 1989.

 

[p8riot]

Nothing special, just my 4" 29-2

 

[rjm6120]

Here is my contribution, a 1980 6.5" 29-2.

Love my 29-3. Just got it. It's a conversation starter at the range.

I have never seen a 29 that didn't have a target trigger
