    I love a vintage 29 (44) or 28 (357) with pinned barrel and recessed cylinder! Can't beat the classics when craftsmen took pride in their work!
  • @K1DTC
    This guy is a legend. I could listen to him all damn day.
  • @GolfExcellence
    This guy is an excellent shot. To have that kind of accuracy with so many different types of firearms is impressive! Especially when he's hitting targets out at a hundred yards with pistols. Hickok is one of my favorite Shootist!
  • I have always thought a person should have the right to own and carry a gun. The weird thing is I never owned or even wanted one up until about 9 months ago. Watching Hickok45’s channel has definitely made me a fan. I have learned a lot from watching him. Thank you

    Those 29's, 27's & 28's from back in the 60's & 70's are probably the finest S & W ever made.
  • @2Aknight762
    FOUR INCH MODEL 29 .44 MAGNUM, my very first gun. Still have it 30+ years later.
  • @maskito4256
    Thank you Mr. Hickok for everything that you do for this community.
  • @kyleingram6330
    Man that's a beautiful wheel gun. Those grips are something to behold.
  • @DanNantz
    Hey this was filmed on my birthday! Happy birthday to me! I've always been so attracted to 44s. I'm not much on the mega calibers like 500 S&W though. Seems like a 44 mag would accomplish anything you would need it to. We appreciate you guys!
  • @brazzy1467
    I was given my grandfather's model 29-3 44 mag and love it.
  • @kbjerke
    The muzzle control at 0.44 made my day. No, my DECADE! Superb, as always.
  • I love the model 29. I also love the 4 inch blue. They are gorgeous. That pistol and caliber can accomplish anything that could reasonably be expected from a handgun. The model 29 is just about perfect. Thanks for the video

    I have a 357 Magnum Model 686 4" barrel White outline Brushed that I've had for over 40 years, although I sold a 357 Magnum Mod 66-2 brushed 6" barrel for the same price as I'd paid over 10-years after purchasing it. It was bought by an Okaloosa County FL Deputy Sheriff. We also used that 686 with the Sheriffs Law Enforcement Posts, because all of the deputies at the meeting were carrying were automatics, and you can't show the difference with a pistol. I took one of the deputies out to my truck opened the tail after turning off the alarm system and unlocked the gun case and allowed the deputy to see what I had with me. We took the weapon back into the SO's office and then let the Advisor see the weapon and then show the cadets the differences. But it surprised him and the 10 other deputies at that meeting. One of them bought that model 66-2. The one comment was the trigger wasn't touchy enough. My comment was I didn't want a hairline trigger on any weapon. Yeah, I also have a G Lock Mod 19 but prefer the 686 to it.
  • Got my 44 mag 4" in 1976 from Mel Rogers gunsmith who before he retired was a treasury agent but more importantly a World Champion Shooter in the 30'S thru the 50'S taught me alot I reloaded 22 grains of 2400 with a Keith 250 429421 round or 17.5 grains of same load but I've sinced retired it and it's 6 1/2" brothers. Blued and nickeled twins.
  • @Sleeptalkin
    Your the man, one of the reasons I started my YouTube channel! Keep it up and never slow down!
  • @Eric-we8zc
    Only problem with having the same gun just in a different color, is you can't get mad at the wife for wanting another pair of shoes she already has, but in a different color.

    Thank you, Hickok, for this wonderful video. Those older, P&R’ed, N Frames that Smith produced through the early 1970’s were, in my opinion, the finest generally available and largely affordable revolvers ever made. Their quality, craftsmanship, reliability, durability and accuracy are superb. And they remain entirely viable for so many purposes (home defense, concealed carry, hunting, target shooting, and plain enjoyable plinking). I don’t own a M29 from that era, but I do love my five-inch barrel M27-2 (.357 magnum/.38 Special). FWIW, I really prefer the five-inch barrel length; it’s still short enough to be handy and concealable (at least in the colder months), but that extra inch provides slightly more velocity, sight radius, and recoil mitigation. Further, it’s an optimized length between purely defensive and hunting revolvers. I envy your M29. Cherish it and fun with it.
