I've never owned a Smith & Wesson model 29 or 629 that wasn't a first class shooter, although my preferred loads for the caliber tend to be very light .44 special (semi-wadcutters) in .44 magnum cases.
My favorite center-fire revolver is the Colt Python, and again, I load very light .38 special target loads in .357 magnum cases with hollow-based wadcutters.
Both the Smith & Wesson N frame .44 and Python are very accurate with full loads, but arthritis and computer wrist are conspiring to confine me to lighter ammunition--and of course, Smith & Wesson's hopping into bed with the Snopes Clinton-Liar Gore régime put an end to my buying products from that bunch of anti-Second Amendment bigots!
