When we horsepack into the Bob Marshall or if a Griz has been spotted around our place (and if I'm not carrying a rifle) I carry this 629 Classic. I've shot it a lot and have confidence in it. Fast, repeat shots are no problem.

The reloads are 285 grain hardcasts from Beartooth bullets @ 1235 fps. I carry it in a strong side Safariland holster.
