SW 29-X
Anaconda
etc etc etc??????

Pop,

I love my S&W 629 Classic. Smooth and reliable, very accurate too.

I have had both Ruger Redhawk's and Smith & Wesson Model 629's. As far as the slickest and smoothest the Smith & Wesson Model 629's win hands down out of the box.

However my buddy has a Ruger Redhawk that has had an action job by a Gunsmith from Fergus Falls Minnesota that is as smooth & slick as any 629 I have fired.

In my experience I'd have to give the accuracy edge to the Ruger Redhawk.

I'd say my Super Redhawk, but then I took it apart to polish the trigger, hammer, and a few other parts plus changed out the springs as well.

Out of the box, I'd say a S&W 629 has the smoothest action. Great triggers.

 

[FOTIS]

Thanx guys!

Its a toss up tween the venerable #29 and the hot-sexy version, the #629. The rest are imitators.. 8)

I would have to go with the 29/629.

 

[FOTIS]

So in a model 29 for strength which version do I look for?

29-3 29-4 ????????????????


Not the pin and recessed right?

 

[HeathSexton]

I think the -4's and up have the endurance package in them so they are stronger.


My 29-2 is crazy accurate, I don't shoot it much and I only run light stuff to factory Win white box in it, but I hear they will rattle loose.

Well I just bought a 629 no dash recessed and pinned. I have been told with sane loads it will last a lifetime. This has been a dream of mine! Hopefully my gunsmith will rate it in fine health. Looks great and from what I heard there is no smoother smith out there!

My most accurate was T/C Contender with a super 14 barrel
I've had the Ruger Redhawk, Super Blackhawk.
My friend had the Anaconda and a Dan Wesson.
I would say the Dan Wesson is the smoothest and most accurate wheel gun with the S&W in second place.


My only 44 I have left is the 629

 

[Guy Miner]

Velvetant - that's quite a revolver. Love the grips...

Pop - I can't see any photos of your new toy, please post up a couple of new shots when you can. Sounds like you got a good one. I've had three 629's, all were good. Fully intend on keeping this one!

For me, the .44 mag S&W 629 is pretty much a perfect outdoorsman's revolver.

Regards, Guy

After a cleanup ....It is immaculate! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Very very accurate Jim.

Looks like new now, much better than the pictures.

 

[SJB358]

Awesome 44 Pop! Glad it shoots. I love my 44, but it SBH! Can't wait to use it for something that needs some killin! Scotty

 

[Guy Miner]

Agree - that's a fine looking revolver!
