I have in mind three questions.
1. Price check on S&W 629 Mountain gun I have my eye on 2 a NIB 44mag, which is $583 and a used 45 LC , which is $539
2. Which has better reloading potential. yes I know the 44 is hotter in factory loads, but can the 45 lc beat it with handloading ( I don't want load but just can it be done easily)
3. there is also a straight barrel 629 there also, same barrel length. which would be better.
To those of you who have one does it kick or is the weight enough to keep the recoil sensible. Does anybody carry one either CCw or backpacking/hunting.
Finally, I know, most of you will say get both, but is the mountain gun a collector or should I get the other gun I have my eye on a verry nice Springfield Armory 1911a1 mil spec its cheaper at $375
