Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Originally introduced in 1955 as the "Most Powerful Handgun in the World" and immortalized by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry, Smith & Wesson's N-frame Model 29 stands as the most iconic .44 Magnum revolver ever created. Built on S&W's heavy-duty forged steel frame to tame full-power magnum recoil, the Model 29 evolved continuously to meet the demands of target shooters and long-range handgun hunters. In 1983, S&W introduced a specialized variant tailored specifically for IHMSA (International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association) competition: the Model 29 Silhouette. Outfitted with an impressive 10 5/8-inch barrel to maximize sight radius and bullet velocity, its defining feature was a unique four-position adjustable front sight knob—allowing competitors to instantly dial in pre-set elevation zeros for 50, 100, 150, and 200-meter steel targets. Produced in relatively small quantities during the 29-3 design era, the 10 5/8" Silhouette variant remains a highly sought-after collectible celebrating the height of competitive long-range revolver shooting.
This exceptional and rare target example, serial number AAM5360, is an authentic Smith & Wesson Model 29-3 Silhouette manufactured in Springfield, Massachusetts, circa 1982–1983. Chambered in .44 Magnum, this revolver features the massive 10 5/8-inch target barrel, factory four-position rotary click silhouette front sight, micro-click adjustable rear sight, target hammer, target trigger, and rich factory blued steel finish paired with finger-groove checkered target hardwood grips. Preserved in clean, highly maintained condition throughout with a deep mirror-like blued finish, sharp barrel rollmarks, solid mechanical lockup, and a bright, razor-sharp bore, this 10 5/8" Silhouette Model 29-3 offers S&W collectors and magnum purists an iconic centerpiece sidearm.
