GRRRREAT FIND ya got there.
Was that 629 a 3" BBL gun?? I was brousing online around the place in Maine WWW.KTP.Com the other day and found a 3" Smith 629.I quickly placed it on HOLD for a closer look when I get there Wednesday or Friday... for 425.00.I hope it's one of those Lew Horton older ones....as they had the round butt and fluted cylinder...with wood grips.......I can't get any extra info fromt he guys at the shop BUT .I do know I haven't sen one in a very long time........I remember somebody here wanting one...wasn't sure if it was you :biggrin:

I also found a 3" Smith 65 round butt at Kittery for 255.00 I looked at it and it felt very tight with the usualy wear associated with a gun of that age.. I also found that Kittery WILL send pix of weapons you're interested in.......just need to contact them, and they will send..

Euc........
That's a REALLY NICE pair ya got there!! Got me lusting for a L Frame now (I've had several in 2.5, 4, and 6 inch) I've always enjoyed the L and N frame guns!! they look sooooooo cool in the heavy lug BBls.They feel well balanced and absorb the recoil well ........We're on a roll here!! we need more big bore pix. !! Got a good thread going, and sharing Fav handloads for hunting, targets, and defense would be good to keep it going very well.. :biggrin2:

LOL...neither are they (the arsenals) made on a PI's wages. It does help when you've been a FFL and 03 Dealer LOL......and with some VERY lucky timing too :biggrin:

Ohhhhhh Don't you just LOVE IT!! Especially when your revolver goes BOOOOM! around all those litle "bangs"........I love it when I get a responce like what you got from your co- shooters.. They have a tendency to move far away, giving you a wide berth to get it on1 You should have just told them you were using a "light special load" just like Clint Eastwood tols the guys at the range in the movie Magnum Force. VERY controlable, and yet VERY impresive. Way to go Euc! <high five to ya> :biggrin:

You Becha Bud !!
Don't ya love it when people just back off, and stare at you in amazment when you touch off a few rounds. THEN you say to them "here, try a few rounds, it won't bite" but be sure to hang on, cuz you're in for a ride!! I LOVED doing that with my Ruger S BH 44Mag 7.5 inch. Thye always were amazed at the recoil, especially with 23 GRs of 2400 powder with a 265 Gr hornady FP bullet LOL :biggrin:

I see you've enouraged another one into the realm of the 44 Mag. LOL......I'm sure he's hooked after 50 rounds of 240 gr HPs...LOL...
