Smith & Wesson Model 629

About the Smith & Wesson Model 629

The Smith & Wesson Model 629 is a large revolver built on Smith & Wesson's N-frame, introduced in 1979. Chambered in .44 Magnum with a 6-round cylinder. Constructed with a stainless steel frame and cylinder, this revolver offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability for years of reliable service. The 6.0-inch barrel provides a generous sight radius for enhanced accuracy, particularly suited for target shooting and hunting applications. The double-action/single-action trigger system allows both deliberate double-action shots and precise single-action fire when the hammer is manually cocked, providing versatility across different shooting scenarios. At 1304g (46.0 oz), this is a substantial revolver that uses its mass to tame recoil from powerful magnum loads, making extended range sessions more comfortable. Smith & Wesson has been producing N-frame revolvers for over a century, continuously refining the platform with improved metallurgy, ergonomics, and manufacturing techniques while maintaining the fundamental reliability and accuracy that has made their double-action revolvers the benchmark against which all others are measured.

The N-frame platform has been in continuous production since 1907, making it one of the most refined and proven revolver designs in firearms history.
