Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some revolvers earn their reputation over decades, and the Smith & Wesson Model 629 is one of them. This is the stainless steel descendant of the famous Model 29, built on the big N-Frame and chambered in .44 Magnum, with the bonus that it also runs .44 Special for relaxed range days. The 4.125 inch barrel version hits a sweet spot that a lot of folks land on after trying longer and shorter options. It balances well in the hand, rides comfortably in a hip or chest holster for woods carry, and still gives the .44 Mag enough barrel to do its job.
The frame, cylinder, and barrel are all stainless steel, so weather, sweat, and hard miles in the field are far less of a worry than they would be with a blued gun. At 41.5 ounces, there is enough heft here to soak up recoil and keep full-power magnum loads manageable. The black synthetic grip fills the hand nicely and takes the sting out of a long session. Sights are a classic red ramp front paired with an adjustable white outline rear, a setup that is quick to pick up and easy to dial in for your preferred load.
Handgun hunters have trusted the 629 for whitetail and hogs for years, and the same qualities that make it a solid hunting revolver make it a favorite for backcountry protection. The double action pull is there when you need speed, while the crisp single action pull rewards careful shot placement at distance. Load it with stout magnums for the field or soft-shooting .44 Specials for practice, and you have one revolver covering a lot of ground.
Six rounds, no magazines to lose, and a design that has been refined for generations. Clean it, feed it good ammo, and this is the kind of gun that gets handed down rather than traded in.
Yes, and that is one of its best features. Any revolver chambered in .44 Magnum will safely fire .44 Special, which has noticeably lighter recoil and usually costs less. A lot of 629 owners practice with Specials and save the full-power magnums for hunting or field carry.
It is a popular pick for exactly that reason. The 4.125 inch barrel keeps the overall length under 10 inches, so it holsters and draws easily on a belt or chest rig, while still generating solid velocity out of the .44 Magnum. It is a nice middle ground between the snubby models and the longer hunting barrels.
Full-power .44 Magnum is stout in any handgun, but the 629's 41.5 ounce all-steel build and rubber-style synthetic grip do a lot to tame it. Most people find it firm but very manageable with proper grip technique. If you want an easier session, .44 Special loads shoot almost like a heavy .38.
The 629 is essentially the stainless steel version of the classic blued Model 29 made famous in the Dirty Harry films. Mechanically they are very similar N-Frame .44 Magnums, but the stainless construction of the 629 resists rust and holds up better to weather and hard field use, which makes it the more practical choice for hunting and outdoor carry.
