I can easily conceal my 4 inch 629. I am loading 44 Special brass and Lyman #429421
I can load to 1,200 fps with magnum brass but maybe with a lesser powder charge with 44 Special cases. For a lighter load.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

laughiing. It's one reason I pray for cooler weather here in Florida. Yesterday I carried a full size 1911, today it's gonna be a six inch S&W 25-5 with the .45 Colt cylinder.

How do you carry your N frame? What type of holster? I’m a big strong guy but years of carpentry has my lower back where it doesn’t like the squeeze of a heavy belt. I can carry my Kahr MK9 well with IWB holster but would love to carry my N frame Mountain Gun sometime.

70 here in Charleston this afternoon...much as I’d like to carry an N frame, guess I’ll stick with the 365.

Check out Pistol Packaging in Maple Plain Minnesota. They make the holsters right there. I have the Majic. It has a magnet that holds it in place over your existing belt.

Wear mine on a Hank's belt using a Bianchi Thumb Break holster, crossdraw.
If a belt bothers you, get a chest or shoulder rig.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

My Python came with an '80's Safariland brown basketweave thumb break holster. It's AWESOME for exposed carry, but it just plain sucks for concealed. I need to call Eric Larson and have him make me a presentation version of one of his Pancakes, or an Askin's Avenger.

I can't remember the last time I shot copper jacketed bullets. I like #2 alloy or else linotype. I do use copper in deer rifles and prairie dog guns.

Milt Sparks NFR cross draw for me. Out of the way of a rifle or shotgun, able to sit in a vehicle or on a horse. Very well made, I'm happy with it.

LOL, damn, the only N Frames I have are a 6 inch 45 ACP and an 8-3/8ths pre-27 357 mag, that cool old vintage leather holster TheKid sent me has about 5 inches hanging out the bottom of my Carhart, works just fine for farm duty.

Have not carried an N-frame much except when hunting but in 2013 and 2014 when visiting Mackay Sagebrush, Idaho Shooter and a few more CF members I did carry a 4" Model 57.
For strong side carry I use either a belt slide holster made by a friend or a DeSantis Speed Sccabbard. For IWB I either use no holster at all or a REMORA.
I have REMORAs and Speed Scabbards for most of my guns be they semis or revolvers...

An entire thread devoted to N frames and not a single pic? We're slipping...
