ad closed Sold: S&W 29-2 44Mag Dirty Harry Revolvers

Chattanooga

$1300  $1200 each, or $2400 for the pair if you're collecting or perhaps setting up a dual wield retro-akimbo setup for the end of the world. Trades welcome as always.

This pair of Smith & Wesson 29-2 revolvers are the best expressions of the Model 29 .44 Magnum line. These 8-3/8" barreled, dash-2 revision wheelguns incorporate all of the early product improvements, and none of the cost-cutting revisions of the later versions. They include pinned and recessed barrels, recessed cylinders, the improved ejector rod, and deletion of the 4th screw holding the cylinder stop spring.

The Model 29 is best known as the sidearm of choice for "Harry Callahan" from the Dirty Harry movie franchise. I've had three of them for some time, thinking that all three of my kids would like to inherit one, but they've all taken to more practical barrel lengths in .357. So the Model 19's and 686's are staying, and this pair of 29's are hereby released. The third 29-2 stays, 'cause I have a few decades of shooting .44Mag left in me!

Good condition, very faint turn rings, extremely low round counts (can't find any powder on either one, and I never shot these two). Strong bluing with very slight/hard to notice imperfections, probably from handling. No muzzle wear; as-new chambers and bore. Desirable target trigger, target hammer, and target sights make both of these "Triple T" guns.

*Oops, I left a sticker on the lefthand gun's grip. That's not a blemish.

Trivia: Dirty Harry features Model 29's in both 8-3/8" and 6-1/2" lengths, depending on what looked/worked best in each film scene. There's a fair chance these two were probably definitely not in the movie (but maybe not in the sequels, too).

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Wow, great looking guns!

[DocHawk]

One interested party PM'ed a question as to whether they are truly target triggers and hammers, or the standard 29" large hammer and spur, which still measure a healthy 0.4". Yes, as stated, these are the 0.5" target options.
