tex n cal,

Add "The Plug" and your 5 inch Model 29 becomes pristine again. One has to know where to look, and look pretty hard, to see where the lock USED to be on my 329PD.

Jim Hackwicz has and often carries a S&W Mountain gun in 44 MAgnum, and that is about the heaviest handgun of any kind that I could see myself packing around very much. And it is, to my mind, pretty shootable.

That 5 inch full lug barrel model is sure a looker, but I am afraid that if it were mine I would find too many excuses to NOT carry it "just this once" or "Just over to that little creek right there" etc. due to its weight.

I am SO glad we live in a time and place, though,where we HAVE so many great choices! Never before in the history of the world have there been so many capable guns and even handguns available to common men!
