Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A Brace of S&W Model 29s

The four inch specimen is a dash 2, and the six inch is a dash 3. Had them both out at the same time, so thought I'd take a picture.

Those big N’s are such nice revolvers.

👍

Sexy

Go ahead punk...

Where's your 8 3/8 at?

Awesome. Have owned several like the top one and at least one identical to the bottom.

Oh my, those are sweeeeeeet.

Happiness is a warm N frame. Hope you had them out to shoot. Very nice.

LOL. "Make my day."

Exactly. That's why the Model 29 was Unobtainium till about 1990. Back in the early 1980s, like so many did, I eventually gave up trying to get a 29 and ordered a 57, which was readily available for under MSRP. Soon as I was able to get a couple of 29s in the 1990s, I sold my 57.

Hold the replies on how great the 57 is. I know it's a great gun and caliber.

HIckok45 has one of them. Won lots of long range steel matches with it, back in the day.

Were you aware that, in Dirty Harry, they'd use the 8 & 3/8ths inch 29 for certain shots, as opposed to the 6 & 1/2 inch model Callahan was typically seen with?

First handgun was a 6” Model 28 Highway Patrol. Had a lot of fun with that gun.

those cokes on the 6"?

I used to have a 28. The hottest Magnums felt like a .38 with target wadcutters.

Reproduction of the Coke Bottle N-Frame grips, made by Eagle Grips. Those are walnut. They also offer them in rosewood.

I sold mine to flave over a half dozen IPA's.





The is one was my first handgun bought when I was 17. It was an 8 3/8's but a bad barrel had S&W warranty the 5" replacement.

Nice! I had the 10 5/8 but passed it down to my son.

I didn't know they made one that long.
