Smith and Wesson Model 629 Review

In this video, I am going to take a look at the Smith & Wesson Model 629, a modern classic. The .44 Magnum was cemented in popular culture when Detective Callahan asked that fateful question, “Do you feel lucky, punk?”

Without Dirty Harry, the .44 Magnum might not be the success it is today even though Callahan used a .41 Magnum in many parts of the film. Oops, spoiler.

The Smith & Wesson we are going to take a close look at is my Model 629-4, a rare revolver with only 500 made in total. It features a slab-sided barrel, Magnaporting, an integrated scope rail, and a bunch more features that I will go into detail on in the video.
