May I ask why you don't shoot them anymore?i have two 29-2,s that i don,t shoot hardly at all any more and a 629-1 that i don,t shoot. i pack my 624 in .44 spl more and shoot hard cast bullets at 850-900 fps.
That is the reason if I get any N-frame S&W, it will be one of those with "Endurance Package", long bolt notches on cylinder, like yours M29-5. And with firing pin on the hammer, of course, no MIM parts in mechanism.I put many hot Keith bullets over 21 grains of 2400 and 280 hard cast through that 82. So many that it went to the gunsmith when it started ratcheting the cylinder backwards upon firing. I also had a 2X Leupold, on a Buehler no/drill mount on it and shot two deer with it. One at 85 yards and the other at 160 yards. I no longer load my 44s that hot as I am getting old. Truth be told I shoot way more 38, 44 Special and 327s now days. I like this one a lot too. 29-5.

S&W is offering $75 rebates, and a new 629 is around $1050 here. So a new one is actually cheaper. I like old pre-lock smiths so it’s OK to put a few extra bucks on itGo price a new 629, thats a deal I would jump on.
