It's big, it's blue, it's a 29-2
Got bit by the S&W revolver bug again - recent acquisition from forum member smoke-wagon, a very nice 1980-vintage S&W Model 29-2, with the 8 and 3/8 inch pinned barrel, recessed cylinder, target hammer and wide target trigger. The trigger on this is smooth as silk - breaks clean and crisp in single action at what feels like less than a pound of pull, and is very slick in double action. I broke my collarbone about a month ago so haven't shot it yet, but can't wait to get it on the range. She was wearing Hogue monogrips but I got her a new pair of shoes -- a nice set of checkered target grips. Range report will follow once I'm able to use both hands again.

One of my all time favs too. Ass is my 4" 29
Now go load up some 250 LSWC with 22grains of 2400 and smoke a whitetail with it
