    I've had my .44 Talo for a couple of years now, and love it. At 7 yards it will shoot a one ragged hole group, if you do your part. I carry a Glaser Safety slug 1st, and either 180 grjhp's, or 250 gr Hardcast Keith type lead bullets. At the range, yes, the grips are not comfortable without gloves, but in a real life situation, you won't feel them. I love my Talo.

    My biggest regret is when I sold mine back in 2015. The weight is perfect and heavy enough to take the recoil compared to the S&W 44 mag backpacker which kicks like a mule. I prefer the traditional look of the M629 Deluxe stainless also to the backpacker which has the fiber optic front site. The backpacker just has a cheesy look to me. This model is nice.

    Picked up one just like yours last Saturday 629-6 with 3" barrel. Own 2 others but never one with a barrel this short. Wonderful gun. The grips are beautiful to look at but not much fun to shoot. I will be replacing them ASAP. Glad you like yours as much as I like mine. Thanks

    I had a 629 with an 83/8" barrel and traded for a 5" Classic which is heavy the whole length of the barrel. I ordered the competition wood grips in oak and cherry. They fit a little farther down on the back of the trigger guard which should help. Important to use left hand to hold tighter when shooting a 44. You'll figure it out. Love Smith's DA/ SA

  • @dw7284
    @dw7284 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think you made the right choice with the 3 inch deluxe over the smaller performance center... it has a slightly longer barrel and full size grips... it helps tame the 44 magnum a little

  • @GunsAndTruth
    @GunsAndTruth 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I agree with your assessment re magnum rounds. I wish they had made the top part of the grip a little bit better so it would not cut into your hand. Shooting 44 special at the range is beautiful. I will say that if I carry it CCW I'll definitely carry Magnum rounds because if I'm using it in self-defense I'm not going to care if I get a little cut on the web of my hand.

    These are really great revolvers with really bad grips on them. I bought one a few months ago, and got it at such a great price that I decided to replace the original TALO grips with a pair of older Lew Horton combat grips. I grabbed a pair form an eBay auction for a decent price and refinished them. They feel so much better in hand, and are very comfortable to shoot. And an added plus is that they look tons better on the gun than the cheap looking TALO grips.

    • @LoadsofBacon
      @LoadsofBacon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      "Big Swoll" - great user name, and a great description of the web of your hand if you use the TALO grip for very many loads of full strength 44 Mag. I ended up replacing mine as well, though I'm sure your Lew Hortons are much better looking. Here's the option I went with: th-cam.com/video/A6m_wCBGn_A/w-d-xo.html
      I absolutely love the revolver!

    I have the same gun and have mounted some Altamont S&W N Round Combat Super Walnut Finger-grooved grips. They cost $58 with Medallions and shipping. I believe Altamont makes the grips that come on these revolvers, using S&W and TALO specifications.
    The Altamont N Round Butt Combats are thicker, and have a very comfortable palm-swell and thumb ridge that feels great in hand. They have many other options and finishes to choose from too. But for $58 bucks, you cannot beat them, and they fit and look better than the original grips.
    I haven't shot the revolver with them mounted yet, so I cannot definitively say they don't dig into the hand webbing. But I have some on my S&W 686 L frame, and they do not on that gun. They are very comfortable shooting grips.

    • @LoadsofBacon
      @LoadsofBacon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Big Swoll! I have been to the Altamont site several times, and each time almost purchased some for my S&W 69. I appreciate your feedback on them.

    • @LoadsofBacon
      @LoadsofBacon  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      First thing I shot in my Bulldog was some hot 44 spl. As soon as I got home I put a couple band aids on my fresh wounds (that Bulldog will bite the hand that feeds it), and then filed down some of the razor sharp edges in the trigger guard. It's still not the best gun for hot loads, but it's better now that I took care of the sharp edges, and I leave the hot loads for other guns like this 629.

    I have been looking at this model the performance center 629 and maybe the 69 combat magnum. Whichever one I get will be for ccw in the streets and the woods so magnums would be used in the woods and probably specials for the city. Any recommendations on which may fit the roll the best?

    • @LoadsofBacon
      @LoadsofBacon  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 69 is slightly thinner, and it's 5 shot vs 6. I like both, and have carried both. If only getting one...it really just comes down to your preferences. They're all good options.
      As far as this model vs the performance center - I looked at both, and I settled on this one because it ended up being essentially the same thing for less money. The performance center model is nice, but the minor differences didn't warrant the extra cost for me.

      I saw several videos about that as well, and I checked mine as soon as I picked it up - mine seems to be just fine. I did the majority of my window shopping online, as the local market seems to be pretty light, and pretty expensive for S&W wheel guns.

    I own 5 44 mags , 3 SW revolvers and 2 Win levers. Have you tried reloading? A 240 GN lead semi wadcutter at 1000 fps has lots of accuracy and authority.

    • @LoadsofBacon
      @LoadsofBacon  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have never shot a factory 44 Mag or Spl that I can recall. 100% of my loads are my reloads, and 95% are my own cast bullets. In fact, my channel is mostly about casting and reloading.
      I have quite a few different molds for casting 4 bullets, but the thing I shoot the most is Skeeter loads which are 250 grn Keith SWCs at 950 fps. As you say - accurate and authoritative.

    I worked my grips down, now no blood. Also rose wood is fine to look at but will crack or break with stout loads. I mean a lot; say 150 to 300. Mine cracked at 234! I got set from Altamont they are little longer but still had to work wood. Made great thicker wood and I chose a different wood. It's my everyday carry gun. 200g Underwood say 1650 fps on box. That's out of 6 inch barrel. Mine average 1521fps at 7 feet from my chronograph. 12 shot average. My 240g Buffalo Bore semi hard cast 1352. Yes mines a Talo. I got real lucky with lands and grooves in barrel. My Ruger shoots the Underwood average 1446 with 5 inch barrel. I'll get berried with this gun when I die. 30 yard groups are 2&1/3 inch with underwood and 3&1/4 with buffalo bore. But that's cocking hammer back for each shot. Not cocking I get 3 to 5 inch groups. Hope helps all u out!

      I don't have that problem YET - my wife isn't opposed to shooting, but doesn't really enjoy it, and the kids are still a little too young. I do foresee having to continually remind the boys that they don't get to inherit my guns until AFTER I die.

      Yes? It’s model #150715. It’s listed as a “Deluxe” just about everywhere, and also TALO many places.
      TALO is a wholesale buying coop that was started by wholesalers in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, hence the name. They commission limited editions of firearms from several different manufacturers. It is my understanding that the model 150715 is one that they commissioned from S&W.

    Maybe it's me, but I can't shoot a revolver worth a flip. I owned a King Cobra back when Colt made a great gun. I could put a decent group on paper with single action. But double, forget about it.
    Maybe it was because I shot the riffling out of a Ruger mark II growing up and a semi just feels natural to me.
    Enough of me whining. Great looking six shot!

    Don’t do anything to the grips! They are fine for shooting self defense. Even the best shooters don’t shoot 357 magnum continuous; they shoot and practice with 38 special plus P. Yes, they do shoot 357 ON OCCASION because of the recoil, but there overall favorites is 158 grain 38 special plus P. It’s the same with your 44 magnum. Get used to shooting 44 special, and on occasion the 44 magnum, but 44 special is more than sufficient! Experience over the ego!

    • @LoadsofBacon
      @LoadsofBacon  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I mostly shoot 44 Spl. I did end up replacing the grips with some rubber grips; they aren't as pretty, but they fit MY hand far better and more comfortably than the wood grips, and the shooting experience with them with both Spl and Mag loads is far more enjoyable.
      The wood grips, for me, on this particular revolver, are more fashionable, but the rubber grips have proven much more functional.

      You're probably aware, but the barrel length is not just the part sticking out the front of the frame. On a revolver the barrel length is measured from the back of the forcing cone to the end of the muzzle. (On most other firearms the chamber length is also included, but the revolver chamber, in the cylinder, isn't included in the measurement.)

    Take a look at the Ahrends wood grips. www.ahrendsgripsusa.com. These are reasonably priced, good looking and quite ergonomic. I have them on this exact model, no checkering, as well as on an 8 3/8" and a 6" 629. If you find the recoil too stout, I believe that the Hogue grips that com on the S&W 460 and 500 will fit. The frames are much larger but I believe that the round grips are the same as the round grip 629.

      My thinking is too practical when it comes to these monster revolvers. Shooting these is not fun, it is hard work, and I dislike the fancy/aestethically pleasing wooden or micarta grips on them.
      What ammo have you tried in this 629? I like the Winchester 210 grain Silvertip. That is actually one of the very few - if not the only one - factory loads that I find ideal for self-defense in the .44 Magnum.

    • @LoadsofBacon
      @LoadsofBacon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have fun with them, especially shooting specials. The wrong grips definitely distract from the fun.
      I haven't shot much in it yet. Everything so far has been K-SWCs in magnum and special, with a couple cylinders of Speer 270 Magnums and Gold Dot specials.
      I've never tried the Silver tips, but I've heard wonderful things about them.
