Hey guys Iv got a question. A friend of mine bought a Smith and Wesson 629 Backpacker 44 mag for bear protection when hiking. He asked me the other day I he could shoot big buffalo bore ammo though it. On the Buffalo Bore web sight they say for there biggest loads which are (340gr +p) you definitely CANNOT use that load in S&W revolvers. The lower pressure loads just say that the gun has to be steel. S&W doesn’t have a listing on there web sight for the 629 backpacker since it is an older model (I guess) so I can’t find out what the frame material is. I have looked all over the internet but couldn’t find anything on it. So my question is, does anyone know if it is a steel frame gun?
Thanks for the help.
Ps. Here is a picture of what it looks like.
