Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Smith 329 Night Guard .44 mag

There are some very cool things you can do with .44s and most 329 owners are missing out. Most 329 owners shoot some full bore loads, and stick them on the shelf in the safe since they are uncomfortable to shoot and they sit there.


Or they think that the only thing they are good for is full tilt, maxed out loads, instead of using the gun for more fun/ recreational/small game shooting.

How about a very accurate 240 grain semi wadcutter that recoils like a .45 acp?

That is the .44 Russian loaded correctly.



The short cases are very efficient, and they allow them to clear the cylinder much easier than a mag case, and even easier than a Special case.



I have been keeping our local shooters who cant find Mags and Specials supplied with these for a while now.


A couple people I have dealt with said that they are keeping their 4" 329s and 29/629s loaded with these for home defense, as they found they are easy to shoot well.

Fun little things and they make a 329 actually fun to shoot, just like the round nose loads that the action shooting guys like.
