44 say no more

[Blackhorse]

Love this gun, Its a S&W 29-3 Silhouette 44 mag, 10 5/8 barrel. Anybody had any experience with one of these. Been using 14 grains of Accurate #5 topped with a 240 gr. jhp. Seems reasonably tame and accurate.

Can't say I have, but I just got a 29 Classic with the 5" barrel and it's quite nice. I still don't shoot it as accurately as my 1911 but I'll get there.

No.............but when I saw this thing I thought it was the ugliest thing I ever saw and now I can't get my mind off it.
I wonder if anyone has experience with it?
Just wondering since we're on the subject of .44 mags

Hmm, nice!

No help here, but that sure looks like "irrational just buy it worry about it later" material.

Speed,

That is about the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

But I betcha it shoots!!!!!

 

[speed]

Ugly?......Yes!...... but I think it deserves it's own thread so I'm gonna start one now!

Blackhorse,

No, but I am quite attached to my 29-3 6". I like to use 296 for the .44 Mag, But haven't tried Acc #5. Maybe I will, thanks.

Mine is almost as ugly as yours but only an 8 incher.

I have yet to find any model .44 Magnum ugly. Every one that I've ever laid eyes on is, to me, a work of art.

Blackhorse, my old friend-

Again, you have out done yourself. What a magnificent piece
of equipment, and photo I might add. Heck, it will definitely
make us "Southern Gentlemen" jealous; as you guy's (and
gal's) that use those digital camera's sure take some fine
shot's. Oops! Did I say that? Well, I ment with those
camera's; cuz I know ya'll can shoot 'em far' arm's.

Best Wishes,
