I think that the last gun that I bought was a S&W Model 629 4" barrel stainless .44 magnum. I have two other Ruger SBH .44 mag pistols, but I thought the smaller S&W would be easier to carry.
I put a trigger spring kit in my S&W that considerably lightened the trigger, and it has become one of my favorite pistols to carry in the woods. It is one of the guns that I take to the range almost every week, and I enjoy shooting .44 Special loads through it at my 8" steel gong at 25 yards.
I've also carried in on my last two Alaskan hunts.
