Hi. I have the opportunity to purchase a NIB 629-2 Mountain Gun .44 mag. This gun is from the original 1989 production run. I am somewhat concerned that this model does not include the strength enhancements of the more recent production Smiths. Is this a non-issue or should I stick with a newer model Mountain Gun? What exactly will happen when I fire a 240 gr. bullet at 1200 fps in this gun? How many rounds will it take before the gun starts to fall apart? Does this model have any advantages over the later Smiths? Someone mentioned that the hammer mounted firing pin is more desireable than the frame mounted pin. Why? Some have suggested that the actions on -1s and -2s are better than the -4,-5,-6. Fact or fiction?
