First introduced in 1955 as the .44 Magnum, the revolver was officially designated the Model 29 in 1957 and quickly gained notoriety for its raw power and fine craftsmanship. The 29-2 variant represents a key era in its production history, featuring the five-screw frame design that later transitioned to a four-screw configuration. Early versions shipped in a distinctive blue pebble-grain leatherette presentation case, underscoring its premium status. This revolver’s ability to fire both .44 Magnum and .44 Special ammunition adds versatility, allowing shooters to opt for lower-recoil rounds when desired. The Model 29-2 was produced during a time when Smith & Wesson was refining the series, with changes such as the transition from a 6-groove to a 10-groove serrated backstrap and forestrap for improved grip control. Discontinued from regular production in 1999, the Model 29 remains one of the most sought-after revolvers among collectors and enthusiasts, immortalized by its association with Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” films, solidifying its place as one of the most iconic handguns in American firearms history.
