Should be a very well made accurate shooting revolver. Well made by craftsman that knew a thing or two.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

There's a 629-4 on here for sale. The -4 is IMHO much more desireable as it has the full endurance package and case hardened (non-MIM) triggerband hammer. Check the classifieds ASAP if you're in the market. This one is priced very well and ANIB.

made from 1982-1988. not rare. same as 29-3 except in stainless. Huh? Per SCoS&W: M29-1 made in 1962 only, mostly with 3 screw frame but at least one 4 screw is known. Value ranges from Poor @ $450 to ANIB @ 3750, 5" barrel brings 3-5 times standard value, nickel brings 2-3 times standard value. Should have an S prefix s/n and would have been shipped with "cokes".
There is nothing made by man,
which cannot be broken by woman.

I carried a 629-1 in Alaska during my Bush Pilot Days. The gun is very well made and reliable. ![[Linked Image]](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t175/SteveCover/Alaska/Eagle%20River%20Airstrip/EagleStrip-BearinCamp001.jpg) Sometimes it did feel a little small though. Steve

Mine is a dash 2. Six inch barrel, un-fluted cylinder, Pachmayr grips.
Got it NIB back around '91 or '92, but it came from a gun shop auction, so was probably a few years old by then? Forget now which year or years that variation was made, but I've only ever seen one other one like it.
It's a keeper, mighty nice SA trigger pull. The year I got it, another shooter had a new Anaconda at our range and proclaimed it to have the best SA trigger on the market. So we let several others shoot both pistols.
Consensus was, that the S&W M629 had the smoother SA trigger pull.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
