Model 629
Introduced in 1978, the Smith & Wesson Model 629 is a stainless steel version of the Model 29. The 629 model designation derives from Smith & Wesson's practice of denoting a stainless steel version of one of their already existing designs by placing a 6 in front of the model number of the original weapon. The 629 Classic variant features a full-length barrel underlug, other variants include the 629 Stealth Hunter.

The Model 29 will chamber and fire .44 Special and .44 Russian cartridges, as the .44 Magnum was developed from the .44 Special and the .44 Special was developed from the .44 Russian. The Magnum case is slightly longer to prevent magnum rounds from being chambered and fired in handguns chambered for the .44 Special.
History
Cartridge developer Elmer Keith's achievement in maximizing the power and performance of the .44 Special was the inspiration and driving force behind the introduction of the .44 Magnum by Smith & Wesson. He intended the new round to be used in sidearms of hunters of large, dangerous game, rather than for self-defense; it proved successful in both.[1]
S&W's production of a large N-frame revolver in .44 Magnum began in 1955; the Model 29 designation was applied in 1957.[2] At the time of its introduction, the Model 29 was the most powerful production handgun.
It remained primarily the province of some handgun enthusiasts, law enforcement personnel, and hunters until Clint Eastwood made it famous in the 1971 film Dirty Harry. After its release and several sequels, retailers had difficulty keeping the Model 29 in stock.[3]
In the late 1990s, Smith & Wesson discontinued series production of many models of revolvers, including the basic Model 29; since then, the model has been manufactured in as many as 10 limited or "custom" configurations.
