There's a reason the 5 inch 629 Classic has such a loyal following among revolver folks. The 4 inch guns can feel a little whippy with heavy loads, and the 6.5 inch versions get long in a belt holster. This one splits the difference. The full underlug barrel puts weight right where you want it, so the muzzle stays planted and follow-up shots come back on target faster than you'd expect from a .44 Magnum. At 45.5 ounces of stainless steel, it soaks up recoil well enough that a long range session doesn't have to end with a sore wrist.
This is the same large frame architecture Smith & Wesson has been refining since the original Model 29, done up in satin stainless that shrugs off weather, sweat, and holster wear. The double action pull is smooth and the single action breaks clean, helped along by a .500 inch target hammer and .400 inch smooth target trigger. Up top you get a red ramp front sight and a white outline adjustable rear, a proven combo that's quick to pick up and easy to dial in for whatever load you're running. The topstrap comes drilled and tapped, so mounting a scope or red dot for hunting season is a straightforward job.
Six rounds of .44 Magnum make this a serious companion for handgun hunting or backup in big bear country, and the ability to run .44 Special turns it into a genuinely pleasant plinker when you just want to burn through a box on a Saturday. The Hogue style rubber grip takes the sting out of full-power loads and gives your hand something to hang onto when things get loud.
Balance, accuracy, and that unmistakable stainless N-frame look. Tight barrel and throat dimensions on current production guns deliver accuracy that surprises people used to older magnums. Whether it's your first big bore or the one you've been circling for years, this configuration is tough to beat.
Yes. Like all .44 Magnum revolvers, the 629 Classic happily runs .44 Special, which is a great way to practice without the cost and recoil of full-house magnums. Many owners keep Specials on hand for range days and save the magnum loads for hunting or woods carry.
The 5 inch full-lug barrel is widely considered the sweet spot in the 629 lineup. It gives you more velocity and sight radius than the 4 inch without the holster awkwardness of the longer barrels, and the extra weight up front helps tame magnum recoil. It balances noticeably better in the hand than either extreme.
Yes, the topstrap comes drilled and tapped from the factory. With the right mount or rail, you can add a handgun scope or red dot, which is a popular setup for handgun hunters. The adjustable iron sights work great as-is if you prefer to keep it simple.
It gets your attention, but the 45.5 ounce stainless build and rubber grip do a lot of the work for you. Most people find standard 240 grain magnum loads very manageable in this gun, and the double action trigger stays smooth shot to shot. Start with .44 Specials if you're new to big bores and work your way up.
