About 7 years or so ago, I purchased a S&W 29-3 .44 Magnum in excellent condition for $650. I would rate it at 98%. The only flaw is a small ding in one of the grips.

A couple days after I had purchased it, I showed it to my dad. After that, he asked me repeatedly if I was ready to sell it haha. Finally, I got tired of hearing him, so I sold it to him for what I paid for it.

Over the years, I regretted selling that 29-3. Finally, the other day my dad said he was thinking about selling that 29-3, because he never shoots it and it just sits in his safe. He shot 12 rounds through it in 7 years.:eek:

Well, I had a S&W 360SC 357 Magnum that he really liked, so we did a straight trade. I also gave him two holsters. The 360SC is in like new condition as well.

So I finally got my S&W 29-3 back, and I am happy about that. Now, maybe in another 7 years I'll get my 360SC back from my dad:D

Hmmm...might be a concept here...a family 'lending library' of firearms. Check one out for 7 years then return it, no harm, no foul.

Find out what other firearms he has that you could 'check out' and get the cousins in on it too.
 
Those are great guns. I am fortunate to own a 29-2 that I bought new in 1980 and a 29-3 that I bought a few years ago. I don't shoot them a lot but I generally put a few full house loads through them a few times a year. They are really pleasant when you run some cowboy load 44 spl through them.
