JWP,
If there is anyone here who would know about such things, you would be one. I appreciate your comments. Didn’t the Smiths become more durable with the changes made in the late eighties? Late 629-3’s and 629-4’s? Sorry, I’m not familiar enough with blued 29’s to know which dash numbers correspond with the enhancement changes.
No one knew the M29 short comings until IHMSA. The M29 was a favorite in the beginning but, as issues arose the Rugat SB begin to replace M29's on the line.
Just shooting enough to stay proficient and hunting will not weat out a M29 in my experience
I've shot a lot of 50,000 PSI loads in a 44 mag Redhawk with zero issues.
