Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 29-5 is a striking embodiment of the classic American magnum revolver—powerful, precise, and steeped in heritage. Chambered in the formidable .44 Magnum, this double/single-action revolver features a 6-inch full-lug barrel, which offers a balance between portability and accuracy while enhancing forward weight for better recoil control. One of its most distinctive elements is the unfluted cylinder, a bold aesthetic choice that also marginally increases rotational mass, helping to dampen recoil impulses under heavy magnum loads. Finished in a deep, lustrous blue, the revolver exudes old-school elegance and craftsmanship, while the pinned, serrated ramp front sight with orange insert pairs with a square-notch rear to deliver quick and visible target acquisition.

Equally impressive is the revolver’s furniture—checkered walnut grips adorned with gold Smith & Wesson medallions, offering a secure hold and a nod to traditional styling. As a -5 engineering revision, this model reflects refinements made during the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period when Smith & Wesson emphasized durability and modernized production methods. The Model 29 first gained legendary status in the 1970s when Clint Eastwood’s "Dirty Harry" famously declared it “the most powerful handgun in the world.” While that claim has since been eclipsed by newer super-magnums, the Model 29 remains an icon of American firearm culture. This 29-5 variant—featuring the shorter 6" barrel and unfluted cylinder—offers not only outstanding performance for hunting and range use but also enduring collectibility and nostalgic appeal for revolver enthusiasts.
