Ultimate 29 thread

[les.b]

Here's my only 29... A 29-3 with ivory stocks. This is the only picture I have right now, with the gun lying on a target shot by my oldest son down at our camp. Come to think of it, what better picture could I have?

Anyway, here it is, a little dirty, and freshly shot:

Best Regards, Les

Mine pales in comparison to the previous guns but here it is, a 29-2.

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

Show off your Model 29s and 629s!

Here are my 2 44 Mag revolvers. A 29-6 Classic and a 629-3 Classic. Both are wearing Culina round to square conversion target stocks, replacing the rubbers that came on them.

As good a place to start one as any. 29-3 with Culina cokes in American holly.

I have a couple of 29's, and a bunch of 629's. I like the shorty's. If my photos show up, here is a 3" 29-3 and a 3" 29-4.

My one and only (at this time): 29-2, 6 inch, 1980. 1 cylinder full house maggies.....2 max.....have to switch to 44 cowboy loads or can't write for a week. Haven't seen anyone in nearby lanes looking for who set the bomb off...but have seen a few headed for the door when that beauty lets go on full house.

44 Magnum, S166065, one of the first one hundred made by S&W and shipped to Union Hardware & Metal in Los Angeles on April 2, 1956. It was a product sample intended to show off the new model. It is shown in its original pebble grain presentation case numbered to the revolver on the bottom in white grease pencil with original accessories and warranty card.

[Doc44]

44 Magnum, S147213, shipped to Pete Kuhlhoff of Argosy Magazine in January 1956 for evaluation and testing. Featured in an article on the 44 Magnum in the May 1956 issue of Argosy and at least six other subsequent articles by Mr. Kuhlhoff and Elmer Keith. Shipped with a special cloth lined presentation case with a special liner in the top showing the S&W logo (S&W wanted the logo to be seen in photos). This is perhaps, the best 44 Magnum regarding fit and finish and with special oversize stocks, I have ever seen. Click on the photo for a better look.

I like my model 29-3 well enough to cloth it properly.

I had always wanted a way to commemorate my being president of the S&WCA from 2007-2009. In 2010, my wife and I visited Roy and Jean Jinks and Roy suggested I contact S&W's Customer Service Department and tell them what I wanted. I did, and the result in shown below. It is a Model 29-10 with the S&WCA logo on the side plate and an inscription on the right side of the barrel (both laser etched). I am very happy with the way the Magnum turned out.
