I have never had a screw come loose in the Ruger or Taurus Revolver. I have had some 29's but only shoot 44 speial level loads except for hunting. They just are not a Ruger or Dan Wesson. Look at the Raging Bull. Its also a stronger revolver.

If James B uses it, its the best, and nothing more is needed. You ought to pat yourself on your back more.

RE: S&W model 29
Actually, it is a recessed and pinned model. I think what is making me take this deal is that it looks mint and comes with a shoulder holster ($60.00) two boxes of corbon ammo and two boxes of 50 blazer ammo. So, it is really only about 400 for the pistol. It does as well have the wood presentation box with the cleaning kit and original papers as well. I could get a raging bull for 420 in a six inch barrel but I would prefer a blued barrel and I have never had a smith product. My pal has a model 24 in 44 special and loves it! He heard of this and told me he would buy it if I didnt. Do you think 400 is fair just for the gun?

RE: S&W model 29
I am really sorry that the screws didn't come loose on my Taurus and Ruger Revolvers. I don't know where you come up with the BS you pump. I have never said that what I use is the best. However there is a reason that I use what I use and maybe its48 years of expierence that has me using the brands that I use. Again I apologize for my revolvers hanging together like they do. What could they be thinking. Matter of fact, I don't recall many screws coming loose on the 20 or more Smiths that I have owned. They do however seem to always be getting out of time. Can't pat myself on the back for trying them again and again.

RE: S&W model 29
BC..Sent it back to S&W and when it came back the process was repeated..the side plate comes loose again. I am not talking more then 20 shots or so. I used Loctite and it helped marginally. SHort Story got rid of the gun. The thing that irks me is I am reading this months rifle magazine and find out it was a common thing for that period S&W 44 to come loose. The newer ones that can stand it without loosening are stamped 629-E. My best friend at the time bought a Ruger Redhawk and he had zip problems with anything. James as usual gets the good guns.
