Ed,
Did you just stick a dremel in the trigger guard or do you have a process to share?
Dave Day late and a dollar short. Trigger removed and in a vice. Dremel on.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Good looking revolver. I've always wanted a Freedom Arms Premier grade in .41 Magnum. Don't know if they would lower their standards and chamber it for one of my favorite cartridges. It's academic anyway, as soon as I got enough cash in my "slush fund" to purchase a Freedom Arms Premier grade I'd buy a Nightforce scope for my M1A.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Nice shootin' Tex! The serrations on that target trigger are sharper than hell! I slave for you folks. I had a -3 .44 Magnum from the S&W Custom shop. It had a 4" Magna Ported barrel, night sights, the serrated trigger and a large hammer. The sadistic RSOs made ME fire .44 Magnum rounds when we qualified, even though the .357 Magnum shooters got to use .38s. The full course of fire was 60 rounds. By the end of qualifications I was bleeding all over my gun due to the trigger serrations tearing my delicate skin. I did that once during daylight qualifications, then repeated it for the night qualifications, after being issued .44 magnums again. Next year I showed up with my own ammunition - factory new .44 specials. The Sheriff happened to be out there, and he let me use the .44 special since the .357 magnum shooters were using .38 specials. I sold that revolver and have regretted it ever since. I sold it to one of our reserve deputies in 1987. I tracked him down last year and called him. I'm trying to reacquire the actual firearms I used during my short LE career. Unfortunately, he wouldn't sell it to me. I wonder if I bought him one like it if he would consider a trade....? If not I'd have a very handy .44 magnum.

Shooting a course of fire with mag loads is....not fun.
Especially with that trigger.

Resurrecting this thread. Partly because I like looking at Flave's new 29. And partly because I found one like it that may be a good deal.
Anyways:
Hit a couple pawn shops a bit further from my house that I normally don't get to.
Found a 29-2 6" nickel .44 mag. Flawless. Not a nick on it, but no factory box or presentation box. TT, TH, red ramp front, white outline adjustable rear. Original target stocks are perfect.
Tag is marked $1100. Don't like to dicker until I've done my homework.
What say ya's, gents. I know I don't want to pay the $1100. I've got an offer number in my head. Just wondering what you guys think.

N frames of that vintage arent going to get cheaper.
Aside from family heirlooms and paying a widow a fair price, baby boomer Corvettes, Mustangs and Camaros come with a price range.
Guns of the era fare the same....

Hey LD......if you buy that revolver let me know. I have a presentation box that has your name on it. It shows some wear but everything works and it beats a shoe box.
Good luck and keep me posted.

Dave The course of fire was 60 rounds. I qualified with it for two years. By the 30th round, give or take a few, my index finger was bleeding profusely. The year after that I put several wraps of athletic tape on my index finger and brought my own .44 special ammunition. Worked great! I also came to the realization that it would take a better man than I to carry a 629 w/a 4" barrel as a duty weapon. I switched to a Para Ordnance P-14 and had it converted to .45 Super. After shooting that .44 Magnum the .45 Super recoiled like a pop-gun.
