[eli'sbook]

The OP will be along at some point to verify, but I BELIEVE this is an early 629-1, and probably has what would have been a "Leftover" Recessed Cylinder...

Hey mikey357 - hope you are well good sir, glad to see you on here !!

I owned a 57 way back in the day but long ago sold it, I remember the police supply company I bought from at L.E.O. prices in the early 80's had me on a six month wait list to get the 29. I bought one in 4" and still kick myself for ever selling it !!!

I likewise owned the 6.5 inch S&W model 57 in the early 70's and carried it in a vertical shoulder holster as a Hearing Officer for a Federal agency. I used to handload the cartridge. Much fun to shoot. Thanks.

I'm surprised this is still available. Very nice personal artillery piece. Everyone should own at least one for each hand.

Long live the ODT !

Item Description:

The Smith & Wesson Model 629 is a heavy duty .44 Magnum revolver that's the perfect protection for city and country.​

For many years after its introduction in 1955, the .44 Magnum was often referred to as the most powerful handgun cartridge in the world. Several other handgun cartridges have exceeded its power since then, but it still remains a powerful round that is capable of taking most North American big game.
Smith & Wesson’s Blue Steel Model 29 was the first production revolver chambered for the .44 Magnum, and sales skyrocketed after Clint Eastwood’s portrayal on the big screen of Inspector Harry Callahan, aka “Dirty Harry,” who dispatched the bad guys with one.
The Model 29 beget the Model 629, which is a stainless steel version of the gun. One feature that makes the Model 629 so versatile is that not only will it handle the most powerful .44 Magnum loads, it can also safely fire .44 Special cartridges because that round is less powerful, is .125 inches shorter than the Magnum and comfortably fits in the chamber. The .44 Special not only generates considerably less recoil, making it pleasant to shoot for fun or practice, it is also a popular self-defense round with ballistics about the same as those of the revered .45 ACP. And because it is less powerful than the .44 Magnum, it generates less muzzle rise, allowing the shooter to get back on target faster for follow-up shots.
This one is in excellent condition, just needs a new home !!
