PIG Pic: Do you feel lucky, Punk?

Those words were made famous by Clint Eastwood as Inspector Harry Callahan, better known as "Dirty Harry". He would utter those words to whatever villainous scum he had bested, usually just before he blew their heads "cleeean off" as he would put it.

So, our newest P.I.G. picture is the ever popular, Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum Revolver. This particular specimen came with an 8¾ inch barrel.



The "Famous" Model 29 .44 Magnum

Nice. OK, The specs.

  • Caliber: .44 Magnum
  • Shots: 6
  • Barrel: 4", 6½" or 8¾"
  • Weight: 51½ oz.
  • Action: Single/Double Action

The cost, about $650 used in excellent condition with the case and extras. The 51+ oz. Really eats up most of the recoil from those big magnum loads, so it is suprisingly easy to shoot. The balance is excellent too! I can also tell you, from first hand experience, that is one of the FINEST triggers on ANY gun I have ever shot. Sweeter than any auto from Kimber, Springfield, or Ruger. It's just soooo smooth. No take up, smooth roll, crisp break. Yes, this is true American Craftsmanship, made when people cared about that kind of thing. If you ever get the chance to shoot one, jump on it like a fat kid on a cup cake!
