Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953
Secure Transactions provided with 
Some revolvers earn their reputation over decades, and the Smith & Wesson Model 29 has been doing exactly that since 1955. This is the big N-frame .44 Magnum that once held the title of most powerful production handgun, then went on to become one of the most recognizable wheelguns ever made. This version from the S&W Classics line takes that legacy and adds scroll engraving cut across the frame, cylinder, and barrel, done in Smith & Wesson's Custom Engraving Shop with a diamond-tipped tool that leaves crisp, clean lines you'd swear were done by hand.
The deep blued carbon steel and engraved wood grips give this revolver a look that belongs behind glass, and Smith & Wesson leans into that by including a wooden mahogany presentation case in the box. But don't let the fancy dress fool you. Underneath the scrollwork is the same stout N-frame that made the Model 29 a favorite of handgun hunters and big-bore fans for generations. The 4 inch barrel keeps the overall length at a manageable 9.25 inches, and at around 44 ounces there's enough steel here to soak up recoil better than you might expect from a .44 Mag.
Up top you get a pinned red ramp front sight paired with a micro adjustable rear, the same setup that's been getting Model 29s on target for decades. The single/double action trigger gives you a smooth double action pull when you want it and a crisp single action break for careful shots. And since it also runs .44 Special, you can spend a relaxed afternoon at the range without beating up your wrists, then load full-house magnums when it's time to get serious.
Whether you're a collector who appreciates the craftsmanship, a hunter who wants a sidearm with some soul, or someone who's wanted a Model 29 since the first time they saw one on screen, this engraved version scratches an itch that plain production guns just can't. It's a piece of American revolver history you can display, pass down, or shoot every weekend.
It comes from Smith & Wesson's Custom Engraving Shop, where a diamond-tipped tool cuts the scroll pattern directly into the steel. The result is remarkably sharp and clean, with a look very close to traditional hand engraving. The scrollwork covers the frame, cylinder, and barrel, and the wood grips are engraved to match.
Yes, any revolver chambered in .44 Magnum will also run .44 Special. Specials are a great way to put in relaxed range time without the heavy recoil of full-power magnum loads. Just give the chambers a good cleaning afterward, since the shorter Special cases can leave a carbon ring that makes chambering magnums sticky.
It does. Smith & Wesson includes a wooden mahogany presentation case with this engraved model, which fits its role as a display-worthy piece. It's a nice touch whether you plan to show it off on a shelf or tuck it away in the safe.
It's built on the same rugged N-frame as any standard Model 29, so it will handle regular range sessions and full-power .44 Magnum loads without complaint. Plenty of owners shoot theirs often and simply enjoy having the nicest looking gun on the firing line. How much wear you're willing to put on the finish is really the only consideration.
