Up for sale is a classic pre-lock legend—a 1988 Smith & Wesson Model 629-1 chambered in the powerful .44 Remington Magnum / .44 S&W Special. Built on S&W’s iconic forged stainless steel N-frame, this model features the highly desirable 8-3/8″ target barrel, delivering maximum sight radius, velocity, and recoil dampening for target shooting and handgun hunting.
This complete collector package includes the original S&W factory box, period factory paperwork, a heavy-duty leather shoulder holster designed to comfortably carry this long-barrel revolver, two sets of grips (the original checkered wood target grips plus recoil-absorbing Pachmayr rubber grips), and two speedloaders for quick reloads at the range.
