Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1978, the Smith & Wesson Model 629 is a stainless steel version of the Model 29. At the time of its introduction, the Model 29 was the most powerful production handgun, although it was later overtaken by handguns chambered for the even larger .454 Casull and .50 Action Express cartridges. It was made famous worldwide by association with the fictional character "Dirty Harry" Callahan. The 629 model designation derives from Smith & Wesson's practice of denoting a stainless steel version of one of their already existing designs by placing a 6 in front of the model number of the original weapon.
This unique piece of Alaskan history stems from a promotion offered by the Alaska Continental Bank in 1988 to depositors of $10,000 or more in their bank's savings program for a minimum of 3 years. Originally, 1000 were planned to be produced, but only 545 were actually manufactured.
