      Most people buy a Model 29 in 44 magnum. Shoot it once or twice then, after realizing 44 magnums are very unpleasant to shoot
      and hard to shoot accurately for so many, put their new powerful canon in the closet never to be used again.

    I believe that originally the DX came with Combat Grips (Goncola Alves) as well as the Hogues, as well as 6 different interchangeable front sights. They were also some of the only Revolvers to ever come from the factory with an accuracy guarantee. I believe that all DX models were guaranteed to print 2" or less @ 50 yards. And they make wonderful White Tail guns, I dropped several each year of youth with my Dads DX...usually in the 25-75 yard range using 300 gr Sierra handloads, which had just come out at the time as well. Great video guys, much love your way this holiday season!!

      I can second The Weapon Collections statement. I shoot and hunt a lot with a magnum research bfr in 45-70. After I haven’t practiced in a while I will flinch with my hotter loads. Hotter loads being a 450 grain bullet at 1720 FPS or a 550 grain at either 1400 and 1500 FPS from the 10 inch barrel. But now like a 400 grain at 1400 is no big deal. I shoot my 44 mags and I don’t even notice the recoil. All about practice and experiences

The Smith Standard Catalog says the best way to nail down the year is to write Smith a letter asking them to date your piece, and there is a fee for that. No big deal, I just haven't done it yet.

Those full power rounds in the 500 are only for rare occasions when I want to see that plate swing hard or when all the folks around here are having fun on Saturdays and want to make myself heard too.

    S&W 29s and 629s are sweet shooters, and with the right load you can easily spend an entire day at the range just plinking away and having fun! If you get one though, it's a good idea to think about getting into reloading. The average cost of 44 Magnum ammunition has practically doubled over the last twenty years. Rolling your own is a lot more economical.
