Description:
This is perhaps one of Smith & Wesson’s most important models. The 29 was intended to allow the shooter to have a revolver possessing better knockdown power than any 357 Magnum chambered revolver. This is a “Dash-2” variation. This was the last variation of the 29 to have the traditional S&W pinned barrel. Other features included are: an 4-inch 3/4-lug barrel, square butt frame, .500-inch serrated target trigger, .500-inch target hammer, ramp front sight with red insert, and white outline on the rear sight blade. The serrated backstrap has 10 grooves. The grips are traditional Goncalo Alves checkered target grips. Smith & Wesson refers to these as “target stocks.” The serial number, according to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 4th Edition, indicates this gun was manufactured between 1979 and 1980. The 29’s popularity increased drastically in 1971 with the release of the film Dirty Harry, starring Clint Eastwood. Although the 29 he normally carried had the 6.5” barrel, some scenes as well as posters depicted him with the 8.375” barrel. Indeed, of the two 29 revolvers used in the film, one was a 6.5” and the other an 8.375”. For the actual shooting sequences however, a Model 25 in 45 Colt was used as the 5-in-1 blanks were plentiful while 44 Mag blanks were yet not available. In the real world, the Model 29 has been used for everything from hunting to target shooting. It has also been used by law enforcement, although never on an “as issue” basis. This example is in good condition with some light wear. The barrel, barrel lug, and cylinder exhibit minor finish loss due to holster wear. There are light scratches in a few places on the right hand side of the barrel. The grips have light handling marks. The grip screw appears to be a replacement as it blued rather than the usual “silver” color. It holds the grips onto the frame just as well as the regular screw, with no “loose” feeling when holding the 29. The trigger has the slightest loss of the case hardening on one side, but the hammer retains its finish well. There are only light powder burns at the front of the cylinder. The bore is in excellent condition and looks like it left the factory yesterday. The 4” barrel would make the 29 suitable for use as a “woods” or “outdoor” gun. One very nice feature of the 29 is that like any 44 Magnum revolver, it will also safely fire the .44 S&W Special and .44 S&W Russian cartridges in addition to the .44 Magnum. This allows the owner to practice with the gun frequently and not have to worry about hurting their wrist. Another, appreciable aspect of this beautiful firearm is that, unlike later S&W models, this one has no trigger lock. This is a desirable feature of the older S&W revolvers and the expression “pre-lock” is a common denotation of this feature.
