Smith & Wesson 329 PD Alaskan Backpacker. Thanks for looking. Boats

That's aufly purty.
I just picked up the nicest snub nose I own a few weeks ago.
Attended a FNRA banquet, entered a few raffles, and came home with a Kel-Tec PMR30 AND a beautiful Colt Cobra .38spl+p in brushed stainless.
I still haven't shot the Colt.

Nice looking gun. Is that a steel frame or an airweight?

Congrats

Scandium frame with stainless cylinder.

Scandium frame with stainless cylinder.

I bet that's a snappy little guy.

Nice find! I had the 329NG for awhile that I really liked. I felt the recoil was not too bad, more straight back than anything. Now I have the 329PD, it seems to have more snap than the 329NG.
The worst one was the 629 Trail Boss I had. Dunno why, but it was really unpleasant to shoot. It was all stainless steel, so it was fairly heavy. I had it side by side with the 329PD and the 329 was easier on me. Funny how individuals perceive recoil.
I did find a Hogue Tamer grip for the 329PD and it makes all the difference in the world. Highly recommended for the Scandium Smith's. Supposedly, the one on the X-Frame revolvers will work.

Thanks for the grip info. I plan on using pachmayr's diamond pro series grips on it. For some reason they fit my hand perfect on n frames and the part of over the back-strap really helps with recoil.

Nice looking that’s a lot of nasty trail gun in a very light, compact package.

That's the key, covering up the backstrap.

Good snubbie!

It might "snap" and "kick" and all that stuff that folks say....but it's not a range toy....it's a gut puncher...and a damn good one!

Well done!

I can confirm this. My 329PD wears the X-frame grips.

Thanks for all the comments and advice. Happy Shooting. Boats

Nice looking trail gun! I love the scandium frame S&Ws. That's one I must have missed at the show...but is was easy to miss things as busy as it was.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Very nice indeed!

 

[Amishman44]

Congrats...nice pick-up!

I like toys that shoot a variety of calibers... .44 Magnum and .44 Special...nice combination!

 

[gglass]

There's only one word that best describes that beauty...





...Ouch!!!

Hadn't been to Nappanee in years, but went this time. Great to see that there are still a bunch of bargains out there. Every gun that I told my buddies "I oughta buy that" was gone when I walked back past it.

I can confirm this. My 329PD wears the X-frame grips.

I have a set of orange Hogue Tamers on mine and they make a huge difference. I assume the X-Grip version does the same? I imagine it is the same grip in a different color.

Nice snag
