I had a stainless 629 with a 3” barrel when I lived in Alaska. I put Hogue grips on it and had the barrel ported. It was accurate as heck and after porting the barrel even my wife could shoot 300 grain bullets with one hand. Ended up selling it because I needed the cash. Wish I hadn’t. Now I live in Yellowstone and I am now looking for the same type of wheel gun, but now gun prices are double what they were twenty years ago.
Ain’t it the truth! Early 2000’s I picked up a used Ruger Redhawk 5.5 for $350. (Still adore that tank today) Just ordered this for almost $1100!!! Times have sure changed.
I just brought mine home last night. The heft, the classic feel and lines - oh! Smith and Wesson revolvers are simply sublime. My semi-autos are, to me, like jackstands. Function, but no beauty. Prove me wrong: there is no semi-auto that is more reliable than a broken-in, proven Smith and Wesson revolver, starting with the obvious Model 10, but the 629 and many, many more Smith and Wesson wheel guns.
How’s the recoil? I’ve shot a 629 classic in a 6 inch and it was great! I’m just worried about shooting 44 in a 3 inch. The 3 inch is so beautiful and I want it though!!
I've got the previous generation, 629-5. It's got some minor variations. It is a pre-lock for one. It has a full under lug. And either S&W or the distributer had it magna-ported. It's on the box labeling. By some miracle, I was able to keep all my original paperwork, box, etc without losing it during moves.
I swear, the old school SW .44/.357's are works of art. Absolutely LOVE this revolver and am dying to be able to justify spending that money. Lol. .44 Mag is something I'd take the time to learn to reload.
Well done. Have same but 629-1 square butt. Never a problem with full load. The answer to the 44 mag question remains the same, "because having to shoot somebody twice is just silly".
Not sure if your a reloader but go MINIUM LOAD 44 MAGNUM 300 GRAIN HORNADY HOLLOW POINT XTP (extrene terminal performance) You have Ultimate in Knock Down Power yet perfect for self defence as Recoil similar to cowboy load 44 Special. Or go 44 special soft lead 240 grain and marginal recoil dead accurate rapid expansion gets the job done.Both loads from 750 to 925 ft per second FROM SNUB NOSE large bullets for maxium foot pound energy and not penetrating excessively.SOMETHING TO PONDER A WEE BIT...VERY COMFORTABLE TO SHOOT (ABSOLUTELY LETHAL.)😳
Just got the same exact gun today used came with 2 speed loaders and rubber grips and the original grips its barely shot for $850 I went in to get a 3" python I guess I'll get the python next year
Nice. Never saw a stainless polished so much it looks almost like a nickel plate. Actually,a revolver barrel is measured from the face of the cylinder,so this pistol is one inch shorter than the old school four inch models. Not to high jack the subject,but back in the 70's I had a 2 inch Model 10,square butt like yours. Finally settled on Jay Scott white pearl grips,which are much thinner,especially on the bottom,and a grip adapter. Damn,wish I still had that now.
Nice display of 44's!!! :)))))) You brought up a good point about the MIM parts, can we get replacement parts to upgrade out of MIM stuff? Thanks for the video.
+Ole Ironhead there is not a damn thing wrong with mim parts, ruger has been using them along with investment cast frames for eons, and everybody touts them as some of the strongest guns made, and with stellar reputations as lasting forever, then a few horses asses that are Smith and Wesson purists start a roumor about mim parts in them, because they just don't care for it for the most part because it detracts a bit from that hand built care idea, not in reality but in idea mind you, and now it is junk, fine I wouldn't mind if they went back to all bilit hand machined parts, but then I won't shed a single tear about paying $300 or more for the same gun with mim parts, but the same guys that bitch about the mim parts would, gotta freakin laugh at the dip shits out there, mim parts are used in tons of different guns out there now, along with tons of polymere (weaker in many ways than most any metal i don't care what they try and say about it) even used as the main frames, and that seems fine with guys, whatever ever dip shits whatever. oh and by the way the logo is lazer etching, and I wish they would use that everywhere instead of roll stamping like the barrel stuff is done, because to roll stamp like that requires a bunch of pressure, that leads to pressure stress/distortion points at a cellular level within the barrel that can in extreem cases be the area of failure and or detract from accuracy, that is why the finest hand made custom guns ( like a matching pair of $12,000 custom made mauser 98 bolt actions or the $125,000 Holland and Holland 470 nitro double rifle i own) have very minimal of that crap on the barrel or anywhere on them for that matter.
Great looking, powerful revolver! Thanks for for posting, especially for those of us in California who are not allowed to have this model. At least we still have the right to watch the video. Keep em coming!
Valentine'srevolver,,lol. Kinda like the Smith Mountain gun. Nice finish on it. My blue 29 is a square butt 4". Something neat about thumbing big cartridges into the cylinder. Like a Smith 25 in long colt I had.Thanks for the vid. Stay well.
Contrary to the host, I always thought that most vintage factory S&W wood grips look like cheesy garbage. The Talo grips appear much higher quality, however they are made.
BATJAC J.W I'm sorry,I was half asleep.I thought it was a S&W model 686 .357.I realized that after I posted my comment. That "Talo" model in .357 &.44 look very similar.Its a beautiful gun,I had a model 29 in nickel stolen.How much does that gun go for?
According to the Internet Movie Firearms database, they used a 6 1/2" and an 8 3/8" model 29 in at least the first movie. When you see Harry holstering it into his Bucheimer-Clark shoulder holster you can tell it is a 6 1/2 inch, other times when they are filming from where Harry is pointing it at the camera, it is the longer one. www.imfdb.org/wiki/Dirty_Harry

Some people think Picasso made good art. They just never held a Smith & Wesson before!
Ha! I like that!
Just bought one for my S&W collection today. Had a 4" 629 years ago,
Congrats!
Where'd you get the talo version from?
Can you carry during the winter.

I happened into a pair of 4” nickel plated model 29-2’s. I’m a huge snubby fan so that 3” peaks my interest pretty good. Ha!
That 629 is a very nice firearm. In my opinion, it's 'THE' gun.
Beautiful 629, ... I'm curious .... what makes it a talo edition?
I swear, the old school SW .44/.357's are works of art. Absolutely LOVE this revolver and am dying to be able to justify spending that money. Lol. .44 Mag is something I'd take the time to learn to reload.
Just twiddling my thumbs waiting for mine to show up.😃
I was watching the John Wayne marathon, Christmas day, 2017; and I learned where the name, "BATJAC" came from. VERY COOL!
Awesome!!!
Beautiful gun. I'm saving for 1 now
You will like it !!

I agree wood grips on revolvers seem a better fit visually
Thanks buddy.
It's a movie thing ;)
Can I possible buy this great beautiful revolver...?

Great gun got the 629 pc in 2 5/8 i looked at this one too but they gun store gave me the pc for the same price as the deluxe

.45 Colt. There is no such thing as .45 LONG Colt. That is an incorrect term, no matter how often it is used.
How's the recoil brother? Compared to 357 Mag? ❤️🇺🇸
Really? It is a .44 Mag.
Just came on Cali list so I bought one
.great video.
Contrary to the host, I always thought that most vintage factory S&W wood grips look like cheesy garbage. The Talo grips appear much higher quality, however they are made.
Como cuanto sera el costo de esta chulada de arma
So I guess my Q is the 4 inch really not Barrel length . Nice gun , nice video thanks
good review...think you were looking for the word "groove" around 6:11
The barrel is measured from the face of the cylinder.
Close''nuff. . . .
You must be a John Wayne fan. 😉
Is that a Talo or just a Deluxe edition ?
still called a Deluxe but Talo edition
I want that revolver to buy bro
Nice gun,but its an L frame.I have the Talo with the smooth cylinder and 7 shots.Does you'res have a 7 rd cylinder?
Stephen Cellucci no its a 6 shot 44 magnum
