I enjoy both my 329ng and Glock 20 Nice pic but it would've been better with whiskey and a knife.

They still make the 329pd which is lighter, larger profile and has more recoil…. 🤷🏼♂️
Yep. Had one for years. After shooting full power loads, I consigned it to strictly being a .44 Special. I figured the 329 was intended as an emergency hammer that was light enough to always have on you; and in the situations for which it would be employed, recoil would be way down the list of priorities. I am pretty badly tempted these days by the short Model 69. 4" PD interests me NG 2 1/2" not so much
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Yes, I have been, too. Pretty cool concept, particularly if intended mainly as a .44 Special with the ability to accept .44 Magnum if one were to find oneself in grizzly country.

I enjoy both my 329ng and Glock 20 As your picture illustrates the Glock has a lot more ammo for close to the same bulk When im bowhunting in grizz country the 329 is my choice. I run buffalo bore hard cast in both. I fired six rounds of heavy-for-caliber Buffalo Bore (bear defense load) out of my 329 and literally fractured my wrist. This was done the day before an elk hunt in Idaho.

I get that some of you have no use for a packable 44 revolver; but some people do use them and use them well.
What's absurd is that heavy revolvers can't even be discussed here without smallbore evangelists howling about plastic pistols, 'advances in bullet technology' and eventually, split times in everything up to and including the act of procreation.
Oh gee, I forgot. It's always 9mm Pride Week at the Campfire. Lol.

Thanks SargeMO. Be Well, RZ.

Yeah. Soaked the hand in ice water immediately. Hurt the whole time. Saw lots of bull moose, but no elk.

329 NG is 3.5 oz heavier than the 329 PD.
NG has a Steel cylinder, PD titanium

I have reservations about the overall practicality of the ultra light revolvers in magnum calibers with full power loads. I’ve had a 357 PD for a number of years and, with hot.41 magnum loads it’s right up there with my 500 S&W as far as unpleasant to shoot. I assume such guns are made to be “carried a lot and shot a little,” but, for a gun primarily intended as a SD piece, do you want to just shoot it a little?
I’ll always keep my 357PD. I like the novelty of it. One of these days I’ll get around to making loads a little better tailored to the size and weight of the gun. If I really feel the need to carry a minimal large caliber revolver my 629 Mountain Gun is small enough, and these days it doesn’t take too long to have had enough fun for the day with that. I don’t seem be anywhere near as tough as I used to think I was. Given that pain-free days, especially in hands and wrists that have suffered a level of abuse for many years, are becoming less frequent, easy shooting loads/guns become of more interest.

I have the 329NG, and it is pretty useful. Light to carry, and full horsepower if you need to shoot game. For the range, a little less powder in the case makes for pleasant shooting.
I just looked at the GB link, and if someone wants to pay 2800 for mine, I can ship it pretty quick.

I seem to be noticing that myself... too many calendars torn off the nail, I reckon.

I got a 310 and 396.
396 is one of the coolest backpacking rigs you could ever own.
The 310? Meh…
