I was all over the place trying to decide between all of the 629 variants. Finally made up my mind to get the v-comp, slightly edging out the 629 2.625" PC.

Found one at a good price. Now I think I may need the 45acp v-comp.

I likes my gun porn, too.

This S&W model 629 hasn't been used since the .44 mag factory test bullet was fired many years ago. I bought it from a very good friend who I was with the day he purchased it at a gun show. He loved this revolver but was afraid to shoot it. He was a 'Dirty Harry' fan.

Congrats, that's a clean looking gun with the unfluted barrel, smooth barrel and underlug and compensator. How's the 44mag shoot?

I have not shot this one yet, but every 629 I have previously shot was great. The 627 v-comp was a very nice shooting gun but I prefer 44. I'm sure I will have to resist temptation to buy the 627 though.

Withth all these beautiful revolvers being shown I'm reminded of aspirations of other wants. That's the danger of hanging out in a gun board.

Very nice V-Comp!! Shot it yet?? I too may soon be buying the 625 version.
I have the 627 version...it's a sweet shooter, but this PC 686-4 "Lightweight Hunter" (7 round) shoots even better, even though it's lighter.

I only have two Smith revolvers, and neither is collectible. A 340PD hand-crusher and the generally unloved 620 (which I like just fine, but it isn't a collectible by any stretch with the combination of lock, MIM parts, and two-piece barrel irking some purists!).

But I like the half lug, and it felt better balanced to me than the 686.

Is it a .38 S&W long, .38S&W short ( probably not) or .38 special?
.38 special, best I recall.

Some online reading narrows it down to between 1902 and 1927, based on the front locking lug under the barrel and the shape of the end of the ejector rod.

Very nice. 41 seems to be about the perfect caliber for the N-frames. However, I was chatting with a fellow who has close to 10K of warmish loads (240 @ around 1400) through his newer 629-6 without any signs of deterioration. He said he had to tighten one screw but other than that it is still going strong and still looks and feels solid. Assuming he is being straight up, that is testament to the endurance package.

T/B: 29-3, 28-2, 27-2, 19-4, 66-1 and 686 left.
