Hello All, I picked this Gem up today in a little Bait/Gun Shop. Smith & Wesson 629-1. Thanks for looking. Boats ***** Looks good from here. Even with the Pachmayr Gripper, it’s about as close to a .44 Magnum derringer as I'd want to get. Ripe for some cast, powder coated meatballs, deep seated over fast or medium powder. David Bradshaw |

For things that go bump in the night. Reminds me, still want a F/O front sight for the Alaskan and M69 snub.

Now that is a nice snag that you don't see every day. Definitely one of those the time to buy is when the opportunity is there. Very nice revolver, I usually don't like Pachmayer, but looks like they belong on this S&W!

Hey Boats. I’m Dieseltech56 on the S&W boards. That gun is quite interesting as I believe we caught S&W using up frames before the endurance package was fully released. I’d be interested if you ever decide to take the side plate off to know if it has the internal bolt block.
I have the blued version. A 29-4 but my gun does not have the longer cyl stop notches.

It will be going to my gunsmith for a trigger job so I will ask him. The barrel inside the frame has a burr on it that needs addressed also. |

Hammer & trigger look to be drop forged, case hardened, and flash chromed. If so, you do not want to stone. Case hardening is very thin; once you break through, you’re into softer steel. Single action doomed to a short life. This is the easiest experiment in the world to prove.
Therefore, your gunsmith must be one who knows S&W trigger work. What is it about the trigger you don’t like? S&W made a LIGHT REBOUND SPRING to reduce double action pull. Sometimes the STRAIN SCREW is too long. This stuff must be sorted out before surgery.
As for the Pachmayr Gripper, there is a reason for its presence: it’s called Conservation of Anatomy.

Boats.... I hear various depths-of-hardness attributed to case hardening. I don’t know effective hardness depth. Reckon the info is available, yet I do not subscribe to stone work on case hardening. Guru mechanics at S&W did not stone the case. A glitch in SINGLE ACTION LETOFF was not cured by stone. You could tear down a revolver, which single action Al Plaas had cleaned, to see case hardening intact.
