Smith & Wesson Model 29 No Dash 4 Screw 6.5-inch Exc. Condition with Wood Case
Description: This is perhaps one of Smith & Wesson’s most famous models. The 29 was intended to allow the shooter to have a revolver possessing better knockdown power than any 357 Magnum chambered revolver. This is the famous “No Dash” variation. Prior to 1957, most Smith & Wesson revolvers had a name rather than model number, such as Outdoorsman, Masterpiece, Victory, and many others. Introduced in 1955, the revolver that would become the Model 29 two years later was simply known as “The .44 Magnum”. Features of the 29 No Dash include: a pinned 6.5-inch barrel with shrouded ejector rod, square butt frame, .500-inch grooved target trigger, .500-inch target hammer, ramp front sight with red insert, and white outline on the rear sight blade. The serrated backstrap has 10 grooves. The grips are traditional Goncalo Alves checkered target grips. Smith & Wesson refers to these as “target stocks.” The serial number, according to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 4th Edition, indicates this gun was manufactured between 1960 and 1961. The 29’s popularity increased drastically in 1971 with the release of the film Dirty Harry, starring Clint Eastwood. Although the 29 he normally carried had the 6.5” barrel, some scenes as well as posters depicted him with the 8.375” barrel. Indeed, of the two 29 revolvers used in the film, one was a 6.5” and the other an 8.375”. For the actual shooting sequences however, a Model 25 in 45 Colt was used as the 5-in-1 blanks were plentiful while 44 Mag blanks were yet not available. In the real world, the Model 29 has been used for everything from hunting to target shooting. It has also been used by law enforcement, although never on an “as issue” basis. This example is in excellent condition with some light wear. There is some miniscule wear on either side of the barrel near the muzzle, and a few spots on the left side of the frame below the cylinder. The hammer has the slightest loss of the case hardening on the left side due to minimal operation of the 29. The right side does not exhibit any wear. There little to no indication of powder burns at the front of the cylinder. The recoil shield does exhibit some wear which is visible when the cylinder is in the open position. This of course comes from the cylinder being opened. There is a small series of nicks in the steel on the bottom of the barrel just in front of the ejector rod shroud. The bore is in mint condition and appears as though it left the factory yesterday. One very nice feature of the 29 is that like any 44 Magnum revolver, it will also safely fire the .44 S&W Special and .44 S&W Russian cartridges in addition to the .44 Magnum. This allows the owner to practice with the gun frequently and not have to worry about hurting their wrist. With this long-barreled 29-2, the .44 S&W Russian would likely produce little if any felt recoil given the light powder loads it uses, especially if Cowboy Action loads are used. Another, appreciable aspect of this beautiful firearm is that, unlike later S&W models, this one has no trigger lock. This is a desirable feature of the older S&W revolvers and the expression “pre-lock” is a common denotation of this feature. This revolver is in excellent condition and would be an excellent addition to any S&W owner’s collection. It comes with a wooden case. The case’s backing (the shaped blue plastic upon which the revolver sits) is broken through in some areas. Also included is a set of tools. There is no manual.
