Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Outdoors629-1 or 629-4 ?

I was looking online at Marks Outdoors used guns he has
2 S&W 629 44 mags with 4 inch barrels for sale.
One is listed as a 629-1 the other as a 629-4
other than grip style is there any other differance between these handguns?

For one thing, the -4 will have the endurance package which started in 1989 with the -2E. The -4 also comes drilled and tapped for a scope. MIM parts came later, so neither of those guns have any MIM parts.

I agree with TRH. I would much rather have a dash 4 than a 1. Much better gun, IMO.

Thanks for the information.

Nolo problemo amigo. Giving out questionable information on message boards is what I live for...

The 629-4 is actually a much preferred revolver by many.

Good choice on the 4in. too! I carry the same and took my buck with it just this last season.

Enjoy........

Depends on how you use it. The -4 is more desirable if you plan to run it hot. If you plan to treat it like a 44 Special, see if you can drive the price down on the -1.

I've got the -3 in a 4 inch barrel, I love it. You'll be happy with the gun.

Called them and told a boy who I have bought from before to hold it for me.He said okay, Drove all the way over there from my home town in East Alabama last night to get it. Another saleman had sold it to a walk in customer.When you snooze yoy lose!!!

The great old S&W guns do move fast.
Did he say how much it sold for ?
Thanks

Did not say but they had it listed at $499.00.

I would be pretty pissed off if I'd drove all the way over there and they'd already sold it after saying they'd hold it.
