Although I recently purchased a S&W model 29-3 in nickel a few weeks back, I still felt I was missing something. It's a nice gun and all, but I have always had a fuzzy feeling for pinned and recessed Smiths. Well, what is one of the all-time most famous P&R Smiths? You got it, Dirty Harry's 29-2 6.5" 44 mag.
Met up with another member from PAFOA today and did a trade of a Glock 17 + cash. Nice guy. It's a sign of how old I am when ppl don't look on these old revolvers the way I do, but I aint complainin'. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...19966405_n.jpg

I am in my mid thirties and I regard the Smith and Wesson revolvers as being the zenith of form and function. Great revolver and thanks for sharing...

I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five. Well seeing this is a .44 magnum the most powerful hand gun in the world and could blow your head clean off. you have to ask yourself a question, do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?
looks like Dirty Harry would approve of your purchase. Congratulations!

I recently traded away to 2-4" 44 mountain guns and I'm still seeing them in my dreams. :( No wonder you need a little more brass. WTG!

Always did love the S&W wheel guns. Don't own at this time. Must rectify that one of these days.
Sweet piece you have there. Congratz.

I am a huge Colt Revolver fan but I will admit I own 2 N Frames both Nickel and both Pinned and Recessed. A model 57 in 41 Mag and a Model 29. Very nice revolvers.

I don't know if its a sign of age or not. I've always preferred revolvers over semi-automatics, myself. They are just beautiful, every one, to my eyes.
Semi-automatics always look boxy to me. Revolvers have sensual curves to them. And Smith & Wessons and Colts have elevated them to artforms....

Me like, but I took you as a young buck.
I definitely like that revolver over the G17, though I don't have the disdain for Glock like I used to have. Heck, I eat avocadoes now and used to not be able to stand the smell of one.

Good choice. When I buy a 44 mag it will be that exact pistol or a 629, they are tops in my opinion.
