There are a handful of revolvers that need no introduction, and the Smith & Wesson Model 629 is one of them. It's the stainless steel descendant of the famous Model 29, built on S&W's big N-frame and chambered for .44 Magnum, with the flexibility to run softer-recoiling .44 S&W Special when you just want a relaxed afternoon punching paper. This version wears a 6-inch barrel, which is the sweet spot for a lot of folks: long enough to wring real velocity out of magnum loads and stretch your sight radius, but not so long that it becomes a chore to carry in a hunting holster.
At 45 ounces empty, this is a substantial handgun, and that weight works in your favor. The heft soaks up recoil and keeps the muzzle settled between shots, which matters when you're sending full-power .44 Magnum downrange. The Hogue rubber grips take more of the sting out, and the smooth target trigger and target hammer make deliberate single-action shots feel effortless. Run it double action for faster follow-ups, and you'll find the trigger has that classic S&W character revolver fans keep coming back to.
The red ramp front sight stands out quickly against fur or paper, and the white outline rear is fully adjustable, so you can dial in your zero for whatever load your gun likes best. The frame also comes drilled and tapped, making it straightforward to mount a rail and optic if you want a red dot or handgun scope for hunting season.
Stainless steel construction from barrel to cylinder means this revolver shrugs off weather, sweat, and hard field use, and the satin finish keeps glare down. Whether you're after whitetail with a handgun, want a serious woods companion in big bear country, or simply appreciate owning one of the most iconic wheelguns ever made, the Model 629 delivers. Buy one and there's a good chance your grandkids will still be shooting it.
Yes. Since .44 Special is essentially a shorter, lower-pressure version of the .44 Magnum, it runs safely in any Model 629. A lot of owners practice with .44 Special to save their hands and wallet, then load full magnums for hunting or woods carry.
It's one of the most popular lengths for exactly that reason. The 6-inch tube gets noticeably more velocity out of magnum loads than a 4-inch, and the longer sight radius makes precise shots easier at hunting distances. It still rides fine in a chest rig or belt holster for field use.
Yes. The frame comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can add a scope base or optic rail without any gunsmithing. That makes it easy to set up with a red dot or handgun scope for deer season, and you can always go back to the excellent adjustable iron sights.
Full-power .44 Magnum has real recoil, no way around that, but this gun handles it better than most. The 45-ounce all-steel build absorbs a lot of the push, and the Hogue rubber grips cushion what's left. It's stout but manageable, and with .44 Special loads it's downright pleasant.
