Our Assessment: Popularized by Dirty Harry movies, the N-frame long barrel S&W revolvers had already been on the shelf in America for a few decades; after the movie, the Model 29 was revered by target shooters and law enforcement alike. The 629 is the stainless steel version and has been made in a variety of configurations since 1979 filling just about any role that could be asked of a .44 Magnum revolver. This example is the 629-6 PowerPort with a 6 1/2" barrel with an integral single port, round butt grip frame, and a stainless finish. This beast should be capable of taming the hottest loads of the potent .44 Magnum. The .44 Magnum is a stout round and will be good protection against just about anything You'll encounter in North America, no matter if it walks on four legs or two. The gun is in Fine condition with a few scattered light marks, a great bore, and strong mechanics.
