Is that a Model 29 8"?

 

[FowVay]

How many of those round, gold colored things does it hold?

 

[Boomer]

Well, we're not goin to let you just walk out of here!

What do mean "we", sucka?

Smith, Wesson and me.


Go ahead. Make my day!

 

[Zee09]

Is that a 340 Weatherby?

 

[shortyb]

How many of those round, gold colored things does it hold?

Enough .

Nice! - mine is Ruger but have a couple S&W 38’s …

 

[Ranger83]

Only have one revolver, for instruction.

Chambered .357 Mag, having fired .44 Mag ANGTFT.

If you're going to have 1 .44 Mag that should be it. Nice! Even got yourself a shadow box. If you want some pleasant plinking run some .44 specials through it. Also a good excuse to reload if you don't. .44 is easy to load and has a great ROI.

I've got a 5in stainless 629 Classic that shoots great.

I dont own any revolvers. I should remedy that. I keep buying rifles and forget about handguns.

I have been buying and liking Ruger firearms - rifles to pistols since the late 70s. Once owned a Ruger Blackhawk that shot .357mag or .38sp rounds. If you shot that gun without hearing protection you would be very sorry. I did a few times. BOOM!

 

[nwjones18]

Yes

Ah it looked like a 6.5in to my eye.

Yeah, 6.5. Sorry

The M29 mid 70s models had so sharp of checkering in the day they were slightly painful. The 44 mag recoil was overhyped .

I had a 44 mag Virginia Dragoon in stainless
during the time with a Walther barrel and smooth grips and it was extremely easy to shoot and amazingly accurate.

Wife been wanting me to take her shooting like we used to be able to do before everyplace around ended up "Posted."-Then the "No Hunting-Keep Out" signs went up all around. I will take her to one of the many shooting ranges around. We have gone shooting at the local Bass Pro Shop's indoor range when it first opened. They have a real nice set up.

I carry this thing with me when I hike on Mountain trails.
I practice at a local gun club, and some of these rounds are so heavy and painful. I will buy more lighter ones. And yet I'm saving money to buy the Smith & Wesson 500

I liked the 2 N frame S&W's I once owned. A model 1917 Army marked and a Target model of 1950 (pre model 25). Both of them in .45 acp that you loaded on moon clips. The 1917 S&W actually had a small step in the cylinder that allowed you to load 45 acp without a moon clip. However, you had to have something to poke out the empties. The Identical Colt model 1917 did not have the steps. The 1950 handed +P 45 acp rounds nicely for a decent increase in power.
