Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 44 Magnum pic and discussion thread.

I sold my 629-"with a lock" some time ago. My idea was to replace it with an older 4" 29. Shrapnel located one for me and my finder's fee was only $300.00!

Score!

Little sight adjusting and I was in business.

DA @ 25yds.

Ha Travis. I'm going to take a wild guess you weren't a Zoology major.

Nah. Zoos are stupid. They don't even let you shoot at the animals.

Here's a little 100yd work with the big Two-Nine this afternoon.



I can't get enough of this [bleep]' thing.


Travis

Nice pistola. I love 29s.

Travis, that's some pretty good shooting at 100 yards...who was doing the shootin for you??


Yea, I know....GFM

Colt Anaconda ,8" barrel

The old Smiths shoot themselves.

And yes, GFY.


Travis

Travis, what load in that Smith made such fine groups for you????

Those are actually Specials. I've been out of the .44 Magnum business for so long, I didn't even know where all my Magnum stuff was.

That load should be 7.5gr of Unique and the 240gr. Laser Cast SWC. My Flattop loves them as well.

When I find my Magnum brass I'll bump it to 9.5 or 10 and I'm sure they'll shoot tight.

Travis

The .44Mag is probably my favorite cartridge, I have one or two.

Couple of Rugers that I'm fond of:




One destined to become a .500 Bisley:


A couple of S&W's:


And two Marlin 1894's but no pics.

Nice.

Beautiful.

Nice 29. I have wanted one forever. In a old Flattop I used 10 grains of Unique with a 250 K and found it to be a pretty good load that would be easy on the N frame lock work. Your idea of 9.5 grains may actually be a better load.

CraigC, Who built the Bisley with the case hardened frame?

David Clements.

I've tried the 10 and the 9 and the 9.5 and settled on the 9.5. Happy medium in my opinion.



Travis

Here are all of mine...

Thanks. Great looking pistol.

Sammo,

You out killing gophers already?
