Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is a renowned six-shot, double-action revolver specifically designed for the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge. Manufactured by Smith & Wesson, this iconic handgun has become a symbol of strength and reliability since its introduction. The Model 29 was offered with a variety of barrel lengths, including 3", 4", 5", 6", 6 ½", 8", and 10", allowing shooters to select a configuration that best suited their preferences and intended use. Additionally, custom barrel lengths could be obtained through Smith & Wesson's Custom Shop or by skilled gunsmiths, offering further personalization. One notable feature of the 5-inch variant is its full-length underlug, which enhances the revolver's stability and balance. Finish options for the Model 29 included a highly polished blued surface or a striking nickel-plated finish, adding to its aesthetic appeal. In 1979, Smith & Wesson expanded the Model 29 line with the introduction of the Model 629, a stainless steel version that offered increased durability and resistance to corrosion. Together, these models have solidified Smith & Wesson’s reputation in the realm of powerful revolvers, with the Model 29 being particularly celebrated for its performance and iconic status in popular culture, notably as the sidearm of choice for the fictional character Dirty Harry.
