I just got this S&W 29-8 4” Mountain Gun a few days ago. Am going to shoot it tomorrow, I doubt I’ll keep it. Was looking for nice 29-2/ 6.5” when I ran into it. I wish they made 29s with the barrel contour of 24s. Attachment 283320

I have both S&W's and Rugers...My 40 year old 629 has the best trigger I have ever experienced on any handgun...it is very accurate but it is NOT for shooting max loads as it will get out of time quickly...I reserve it for woods walking with 1100 fps 250 grain SWC's...My Super Redhawk is a tank of an handgun it will eat any and every load I have ever fired in it. I hate to say this but I am not sure you can seat a bullet over enough WW296 to damage this gun....But the trigger will never be as good as the Smith...but after a little work on it, it is fine for hunting...

I too have a Ruger SRH in 44 Mag, a 9.5" barrel version. It is indeed a tank, and a heavy one at that.
The good thing is that all the weight absorbs recoil on the heavy loads.

The bad thing is that all that weight is...well...heavy to carry around. I use it as a range gun, out to 100 yds.
