Awesome!

Me too

😂

I've had them on a long gun or two, so i figured they'd really help out a revolver, too.

@@plowboysghost what is the difference between the classic and the classic deluxe? Is it just the grips?

Thank you. I put a set of Altamont "combat" wood grips on it and love the looks and feel, but still haven't shot it with those stocks on it yet, since changing them. I'll shoot this one on camera, along with a few others I've recently got, as soon as practicable.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, as well.

😅

Thanks. I've had this hat since before my first gun video...in which i was wearing it.

Sweet. Revolvers are addictive...both single and double action.

Congrats...and Heck Yeah! I've got the itch right now for the standard 6" non- full underlug standard model 629.

How did that go

@driftcat7076 fantastic, it's easily my favorite handgun in my collection

@@ksrebelbuck7936 with such a commendation you make me consider buying one myself

Thanks Mike. Merry Christmas to you & y'all.

Thanks! I'm diversifying my interests and collection a little bit.

Thanks!

It’s still being produced

@@AMDpc067 thank you!

I picked mine up used if u get a chance to get one get it u won't regret it especially if it's a smith and wesson

S&W still producing guns, just slowed down for a while when they moved headquarters from Massachusetts to my home state of Tennessee

Merry Christmas to y'all, as well.

Thanks. Mothers aluminum and mag polish is what i use on my nickel Cimarron .45 Colt, and i used it a few years ago on a polished stainless New Vaquero .45 I owned. It'll also quickly clean up powder fouling on my rougher finish stainless Taurus Model 44. I'm not going to make this one a mirror, but I can live with it like it looks in this video.

Might as well...heheh. I should've went ahead and shot it some more and moved the rear sight if it really was shooting low (and not just ME shooting low) instead of cleaning it and putting it back on my pistol rack.

@@plowboysghost I carry a glock 19 daily and shoot a little left with it some say that most do it that shoot left with a glock but I don't with my 40cal glock I am gona change the sights any way gona put some night sights on it

@@stevenlawson9460 A buddy of mine bought a Glock 40 MOS today. He's planning to put some sort of red dot something or other on it. Nothing wrong with that. I'm planning to build an AR, of all things....while they are dirt cheap.

I did an ad on Anderson recivers

@@plowboysghost ar

Could be me that's shooting low. I'll shoot it some more before i turn screws. It's smooth from one end to the other..and I love the trigger on it.

Don't give it a thought. You are helping by watching and talking to me about it. Thank you 🥃

​@@plowboysghosttruth be told you're like the cool uncle that does all the fun stuff!!! You remind me of my favorite uncle and he's almost as cool as you!!!

Thanks. I love this gun everytime I walk past it and/or pick it up.

Thanks you.

I resemble that remark...heheh. Thanks. Merry Christmas!

Thank you.

I didn't really want the rubber grips, since i have rubber grips on the Model 44 and was thinking of putting wood on it. Surprisingly, these wood grips feel pretty good when shooting it, but I'm eyeballing some other, finger grooved wood grips.

Jerry Reynolds what grips did you end up with ?

Thanks you.

6.5 perfect length if you want to hit something.

I'm eyeballing some finger grooved wood grips, myself.

Thanks. It catches my eye walking past my pistol rack, that's for sure.

I would...and I never would have let go of that one like I did later on, if I had it to do over again. I have other .44 Magnums, but I will own another one like this one.

I like it, thanks. I've got a red fiber optic front sight, a leather triple k holster,and a pair of Silverblack Altamont combat grips coming for it first half of next week...so i can carry it around, see the sights, and change the looks/handling.

I'm not sure. Is the 29 a new gun?

plowboysghost it was new. I decided to go with the 629 deluxe. I found it online for $791. I should have it in a few days. Where did you get your reloading data? I would like to start reloading some ammo. Looks like your loads are shooting well

@@jeremycrane6592 Several online places including: reloadammo.com/44loads.htm and a pdf version of Handloader Magazine's / Brian Pearce's article on the model 29/629 and loads for it.

Thank you.

The Aluminum/Mag polish from ChinaMart.

I kicked around the idea of buying a standard framed (non-Super) Redhawk instead of this Smith just for those +P+ BB rounds, but I do have a Super Blackhawk that can eat them, so i went this way instead. Besides.... I'll end up getting a (BFR in either) .475 Linebaugh/.480 Ruger or .500 Linebaugh in this next year. I just almost feel that this 629 is going to HAVE to have a set of fiber optics. Either those factory sights suck in bright sunlight such as what I was shooting in, or my eyes are to blame. Either way, glowing dots would be much better. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

All that being said from both of us, it’ll be hard for any double action to beat that 629 on looks!

@@gunsmackamigos1159 That be true.

S&W can handle any load a Ruger can! They are not built stronger than a S&W at all! Rugers are thicker only because they are a cast made gun where a S&W are a forged made gun. In order to make a cast made gun as strong as a forged it has to be thicker! Ruger makes cast guns because it’s cheaper and people think they are stronger. In reality a forged gun is usually always stronger than a cast one. It’s simple metallurgy. Now years ago Ruger did make tougher built guns but they were only the SA guns for wildcat calibers. But this is not the case for their DA/SA guns. People always say Rugers are built like a tank but they only seem this way because the casting process is inferior to a forged gun.🇺🇸

@@Lilnasty-jo3dc As far as i understand, newer S&W with the Endurance Package are pretty durable...and of course S&W seems to stand behind them when needed.

I've had a GP100 and liked it pretty well. I kept that RIA GI .45 for years and it never malfunctioned once...so that's a hard choice to make. Merry Christmas to you, too.

@@plowboysghost more and likely might get the ria 1911 gi 45acp because i do wanna customize the grips into punisher grips and put a silver compensater on it take care plowboy!

@@zombiekillerwithblood1233 Sounds kool. Take it easy, zombie killer.

Thank you.

I wish I still had that one.

4" is what I had on my mind, with 5" not far behind it. When i saw this one at the dealer and handled it, i didn't hesitate.

It was a new gun...2018 or 2019 built.

I don't know. The last I saw, the price on this model had gone up from what I'd gave for this one.

Hmmm.... that's honestly the first time I've heard that.

Ruger’s have thicker frames because they are cast. Your Smith is forged. Takes less material to do the same job.

@@ramseycattn5941 I agree that the steel is strong enough. Though I know that the Endurance Package Smiths are a lot more durable than the earlier guns, it's been oft repeated that the S&W will prematurely loosen up with a diet of heavy Magnums...such as what's marketed as +P+ from Buffalo Bore. They specifically exclude the S&W from the list of guns they consider "safe" with that load.

You ain't the only one this choice perplexes. The Smith...so long as the barrel isn't canted, is a great gun. I love mine. However...the new Anaconda is a rung higher in fit and finish. I no longer have the Smith in this video, but I have a 4" 29-10 and a no dash 4" Model 57 both of which I love. I want a new partial underlug 629 6" or 6.5".. whichever it is, to go with what have , too. I want a longer, new Model 57,as well...so I do love Smith and Wesson revolvers. I haven't shot the Anaconda yet.

Heheh. Tell her I take that as a compliment.

Sorry to hear that.

I can't travel that far that soon. My wife's wanting me to go ahead and schedule a needed surgery after the first of the year, so i don't know how that's going to work with her work schedule, either.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
