Hello everyone. My name's James and I have a problem...

Ozzie, I like that! A 3-inch 629 is not common.

But I bet it is a sweet shooter with even heavy .44 Specials.

I may be in denial but I fail to see a problem. I love the looks of them as well, unfortunately I do not currently own any. Very nice firearms everybody!!!!!!

44 specials,, like a 38 special in a 19.
It came into the shop I worked at and the owner knowing I have a thing for N frame S&W (more like addiction) and with 44 attached (yea I’m gone) he hands me the box it came in and smiles.
I opened it up and took it home.
Yep freebee.

Well, folks, I'm feeling the tiniest of hints of improvement in my condition. But the road to recovery is long and fraught with set backs: let's not count my chickens!! For that reason let the treatment continue!! I look forward to your offerings!!

BTW the S&W .357 and the last SA 5" in .44Mag: lovely!! That FA Linebaugh is also a delight. Mmmmm!!

I must admit I also find an I fluted cylinder to be somewhat striking. It can take a gun that already says "all business" and make it even meaner. At least from an apprearance standpoint.

I do think they tend to look better on stainless guns, even though I typically prefer blued.

Of course the only revolver I own with an unfluted cylinder is this Uberti 1860 Army clone, which kind of negates my silly "stainless" argument above.

 

[JERRYS.]

my only non-fluted cylinder revolver...

Oh....My....Good...Grief. That is divine!

Make that a .44Mag and I would start a new religion in its honour...

 

[Hammerhead]

Thanks. That's the small frame model 97. They make it in .22, .357, .44 spl, 45 Colt.

They do make the large frame model 83 in .44 Rem mag.
