Some of you have probably gotten tired of hearing me ramble on about my late-lamented old nickel 4" 29, which I traded off in a fit of poor judgement several years ago. .44's have come & gone, but this one was the flagship of the fleet around here for years. I carried this old gun on duty and had several successful deer seasons with it; it rode with me & the Missus across the Rockies, and through blizzards on prisoner extraditions.
I seen it on a table at a gun show several years ago but let it slip away again, and had pretty well given her up for lost. WELL, I just happened to run across it again the other day... and while my wallet's a little lighter, it sure is good to have her back home again.
Get a load of those circa '73 Mustang rubber grips! They'll be replaced ASAP with something more in keeping with classic old iron, and the Mustangs will bereserved for heavy loads- of which there will be few in this gun. I shopped around some before I found this one again, and discovered that nice old 29-2's don't "grow on trees" anymore.
Decidedly "un-tactical", but still an effective sidearm by any yardstick. I am set to qualify with it next month- and then back to work she goes.
I know you must be a happy
