- Join Roy Hill as he offers a quick look at the iconic Smith & Wesson 629. This popular double-action revolver was introduced in 1978 and derives its design from the Model 29-Smith’s large N-frame revolver. The 6 in front of the 29 denotes the stainless steel construction of the 629’s frame. Though four decades have passed since its inception the 629 continues to be popular among hunters, shooters and collectors alike.

I love my 629 and 29s!
Nobody asked go play pretend soldier baldy
@@alphasmurf6563 why being so mean
Absolutely THE most gorgeous and sought after 629 ever produced! The no dash pinned and recessed 629…..from 1979-1981, truly the pinnacle of fine firearm craftsmanship from Smith & Wesson! The Holy Grail is the 4” model (and rarest) followed by the 6” shown here. These guns will soon (if not close to being there now) be the highest priced wheel guns at every major auction house. If you can find one, GET IT!
Another indicator of your 629’s “generation” is the hammer mounted firing pin. I love my 27-2, which is a few years older, but provides the same excellent design, quality, workmanship, accuracy and “old fashioned” features (pinned and recessed, three Ts, and hammer mounted firing ground pin). Thanks for this fine video.
Now I want one, thanks a lot.
🤣🤣🤣 Same here, my wife wonders why, some wives understand. My response is you have two Armoires filled with jewelry.
I love my 27, manufactured about 10 years before this 629: N Frame, deep blue, 3T’s, P&R’ed and an entirely functional and proud example of the superb revolver craftsmanship and quality of older S&Ws.
Great Video, i have the 629 no Dash with 8 3/8 inch Barrel. Greetings from Austria
I’ve got the 4” no dash, excellent revolvers! Sold off a 6” 629 no dash that was recessed but not pinned.
Nice video, the the dished area on the left grip is a relief cut so all the empty cartridge cases fall free upon ejection.
Anybody else flinch when he pointed that thing at his own head @2:33 😅😮💨
No, because we’re not all naive enough to think it wasn’t safety checked before the video was made. How do you look down the barrel btw?
It’s the principle my guy. I would hope and do believe they probably did a safety check before starting, but I would have hoped and believed that Alec Baldwin and his team would have done the same lol
If I have to look down a barrel I remove the barrel from the firearm if possible. In this case I would open the cylinder, then inspect.
wow. gorgeous example of one of the nicest large bore ever made.
Well, you made my day. Thanks for sharing.
Such a handsome weapon
This is a chill vid. Good content for the GUN crowd.
So nice. A gem.
The 29/629 are my favorite.44mags. I know there are loads not recommended for the S&W but that doesn’t change my love for them. I have a pair of nickel plated 4” model 29-2’s.
Interesting note, the script for Dirty Harry called for a 4 inch Nickel 29 but the couldn't get them.
Beautiful
Are you drooling?
Khanclansit: nah
I will say the one thing I LOVE with the older 629s is smith didn’t make the stainless triggers grooved which is fantastic for double action shooting. As much as I love my 29-2, the grooved trigger tears up my finger after a while and I end up putting it back in the safe for a while till my finger calluses back up. Shook someone’s hand once and they asked me why my index finger was so callused compared to the rest of my hand 😅
So sweet.
Older video (2018) but I thought I'd comment. I always thought the "scallop" on the left grip panel was so the spent cases would clear. Maybe that's because I'm a lefty.😊
fosterdl1.....I believe you are correct. That particular 629 has what is called an "ejector cut" on the left grip. If you look closer at some other Smiths with the same type of grips they also have what is called a "speedloader cutout "
The speedloader cutout is deeper cut into the grip and more pronounced in appearance, therefore it will accommodate a speedloader made for that particular model revolver.
Awesome
This revolver was produced from 78-81. Very sought after model
My favorite SW 629. half lagged, 6 inches pinned barrel, recessed cylinder and hammer on firing pin... But, for my side, it is impossible to obtain.
Not a thumb rest that’s so the cases don’t hit the grip when ejected
Target hammer and target stocks yes.....but I believe the trigger is a smooth combat trigger on your revolver. It looks a tad wider on that 629 then other model and caliber Smiths. My 629-2 6" is exactly the same as yours in that regard and on the box it indicates TS ( target stocks) TH (target hammer) and CT ( combat trigger) Not sure if the true target triggers which are wider have serrations or not on the 629. Anyone know ??
My 1990 629-3 trigger is the wide serrated trigger !!!
Does anyone know where I can find a rear sight for my S&W 629-1 44 mag ??? Looks identical to the one in this video.
I found one on ebay I took measurements with calipers for scre placements
That little red insert makes me shoot all around the bullseye because there's nothing to focus on. I hate it. I need a dot or metal grain to focus on. That 629 sure is a looker, though.
Is there a particular reason that stainless steel S&W revolvers are the 600 models?
hancock63 It’s Not so much as a 600 Series but a 6- Notation on guns. They’re in order, or rather were.
Ill just have to get a newer model 629 from s&w lol.
Sledge Hammers gun. "Trust me, I KNOW what I'm doing!"
What is the full name of this Magnum 629? is it 5 or 6 or chassis??
Par Ali it is a Smith & Wesson Model 629-2 or 3. Nothing else to it.
Yeah mine is a 629-3 made in 1991 and was one of the most accurate revolvers to have left the S&W factory which is denoted on the barrel and box as being labeled as the 629-3 Classic DX !!!
This is a no dash original 629 (pinned & recessed) 6” barrel. Easily the most sought after 629 in existence. 4” barrel is even more sought after.
P&R TTT ........ too bad smith doesn't make em like that any longer
From a time when men were men and marshmellows were something you ate off a stick from your campfire

Bruh
Like I always tell my wife, I need one for reasons.
I don't tell her ! After you get so many they don't notice a new one usually lol
@@ericlaney384, I've tryed that but she's to smart. We go out shooting and she'll recognized a new glock or S&W. Then I hear "is that a new gun?" And I responded with "no honey, it's a really old gun". Then I get "the look".
What you need to do is have a friend bring the the new guns you buy to you, when you wife is at home, and tell you "thanks for the the loan!". To which you can reply, "oh that old gun, haven't seen it in ages!"
@@robertunderdunkterwilliger2290, Lol, solid plan. I'll give it a try.
lol I like both your comments lol believe me I get caught ! That head nods the slow deep inhale with the sudden quick exhale and thier shoulders shrug lol
Trust me. I know what I’m doing.
It’s not a thumb rest
Model 29 isnt a stainless gun
Jacob Martin exactly!
There were some stainless 29s
@@rachelwaatti4819 wrong
Do the research. U will find some stainless 29s. There isn't many.
You do not hunt with a hand gun.
People hunt with handguns. 44 mag is plenty powerful enough to hunt and kill anything in the United States. 44 mag has even killed Polar bears.
Pointing the muzzle of a firearm at yourself or anything else you're not willing to destroy is NEVER a good idea. ALWAYS follow the 4-basic rules of firearm safety and you'll most likely never experience an accidental discharge.
1. Treat every gun at all times as if it was loaded.
2. Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
4. Be sure of your target and what is behind and beside it.
BLD Lightpainting if you ever claim you’ve never flagged yourself with an unloaded firearm or a loaded on then you’re full of crap. The gun was unloaded and he was handling it perfectly fine.
Plus he opened the cylinder and showed the camera it was empty before pointing the barrel in his direction. Have you never looked down the barrel of a safety checked weapon to inspect it for fouling or crud you may have missed while cleaning?
