Smith & Wesson Pistol, Pre Model 29, .44 Magnum, 6.5" Barrel, 3 lbs.

Description:
The Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum (retroactively referred to by collectors as the "Pre-Model 29") is a legendary, large N-frame double-action revolver. Introduced in late 1955 and heavily promoted in 1956, it was the world's first production handgun chambered for the .44 Remington Magnum cartridge, developed in a joint effort between legendary outdoorsman Elmer Keith, Smith & Wesson, and Remington Arms. Before Smith & Wesson began stamping numerical model designations (like "Model 29") inside the crane in 1957, this firearm was simply known as the ".44 Magnum". The 6.5-inch barrel variant is highly iconic, as it served as the original production length and went on to achieve massive legendary status on the silver screen. Marketed upon its release as the "most powerful handgun in the world," bridging the gap between sidearms and heavy hunting rifles. .44 Magnum
