Anyone have any thoughts or experiences w ith a smith 629-4 with a 4" bbl >? Likes or dislikes problems or ?
The only problem I see with the 629 series of Smith and Wesson revolvers is you sometimes get blinded by the sheer awesomeness of perfection that is the N frame Smith and Wesson...You may look at it and find yourself weeping from it's simple elegance...
To paraphrase artist Wayne White, "They are so beautiful they hurt my feelings."
If you don't want the big boom, you can use 44 special
Picked up a nice, used 629-2 Monday...... 3" barrel, round butt. They are beautiful revolvers!
I had one once and didn't feel like I was accurate enough to use for hunting. The 44mag in such a short barrel is just a whole lot of gun, and more than I wanted to deal with. That big of a caliber in that short of a barrel is good for traveling in dangerous bear country, and showing your buddies what you'd carry in dangerous bear country even though you'll never go there and only fantasize about it.
You're killing me Sparky. Somehow, some way, that gun was for sale that close and no one let me know...I feel like I just got punched in the gut....If you ever let her go????
