Gun came in perfect condition, and Smith And Wesson quality is still very good! It was a little dirty but to be expected with oily residue when being shipped.I have not fired it yet but will soon. Buds shipping and service was perfect as I have bought many guns from them. There prices are the best i could find. If you’re going to buy a new firearm buds gun shop rules!!

I’m not sure if the QC inspector who inspected at my gun did it on a Friday at 5pm, but….overall I can’t say I am super impressed. The cylinder has tooling marks in two places, not super bad but should not have passed QC. Didn’t notice it until I got home. Gun was really dirty. The stainless is nice in some places, meh in others. Overall it doesn’t have the appearance of a fine quality product, kinda looks more like it’s been used for 10 years. Here’s to wishing I bought the redhawk, and not making the mistake of buying another S&W.

The revolver came dirty from the factory and the finish wasn't very good for the money I paid. Functionally it worked great but I would expect better from Smith and Wesson.

This is one of my most recent purchases, out of the box and on center of the target. With a slim grip and a slight push, this is one of my favorite revolvers I own.

This is a great gun, as expected, and Bud’s was a great source. Five stars. Factory magnum rounds are hot - too hot for all day shooting. Downloading helps to solve that. My wife and I prefer 44 special rounds for extended range days.

There's no words that can describe shooting one of these beasts. I used some 305gr bear load to break it in. It's louder than a cannon, kicks like a government mule, but most of all it's extremely accurate and it will shoot any brand ammo you feed it. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

This thing is a beauty. The grip and weight makes it possible to shoot this all day. Accurate right out of the box. If you like this I highly recommend trying its big brother the 500.

Huge pistol. Huge bullets. Very fun to shoot. It also looks and feels really, really cool. Certainly not for the timid shooter, but it is not overwhelming to shoot. I have wanted a .44 for a long time, and have zero buyer’s remorse. Bought a S&W686 at the same time...they make a handsome pair. Very glad I purchased this pistol.

Great service from Buds and very fast shipping. Very very nice gun at a great price. Shot it for the first time today and was amazed at how soft the recoil was for a 44mag. Love it!!

I'm disappointed in this revolver.... It looks good, even has a polished forcing cone which was a pleasant surprise. I haven't shot it yet. the problem with it is that it has heavy rough D/A pull at the beginning of the pull, like the cylinder lock is binding, can't feel anything when you cock the hammer tho. When you finally get past the heavy spot the trigger slams to the rear from the pressure to overcome the heavy spot. No way to shoot it accurately in D/A. I will shoot it S/A and if all goes well, I'll remove the side plate and give it a good cleaning. I expect a heavy pull from a new gun but this one is actually defective as is. Who ever assembled it at S&W didn't even pull the trigger to see if it worked. Shoddy workmanship.. This has me reconsidering Taurus revolvers.

Gun shipped timely to FFL. Fit, finish and function of S&W 629 all excellent. Great SA trigger. Gun shot shockingly small groups with full power 44 Mag 240 gr. factory loads. Couldn't be happier!

Satisfied with this modern S&W 44 mag. Have shot a mixture of magnums and specials through this revolver. Very accurate and sights DID NOT require any adjustment. Fit and finish are very good. Looked revolver over very closely. No issues and I am pleased so far. Trigger is a little heavy. Probably could use a spring kit one day. Buds shipped fairly quickly. All in all a good purchase.

It’s a little on the lighter side for weight for me. But feels good in the hand and has less recoil and kick than I had anticipated

I love this pistol. The only thing I dislike is the round butt rather than the square butt. Smith and Wesson should have made all N frame pistols square but frame's.

Another good experience dealing with Buds. The 629 was shipped promptly and received by my local FFL in perfect condition. Took it to the range the next day, and it shoots great. Hard to beat the large frame Smith and Wesson revolvers. The half-lug 6” barrel gives this revolver a good balance, and looks great.

This Model 629 was perfect in every way - fit, finish and function. Accuracy was great right out of the case. Most accurate .44 I've shot to date. Shoots .44 Specials thru the same hole with no problem. S&W gets a lot of negatives on the internet about canted barrels, MIM parts, finish issues. Didn't find any here. Great choice if you want a .44 Magnum without paying the collector's price for an old one, or the new Classic series.

S&W 629 Awesome revolver. Beautiful gun, awesome craftmanship. Its relatively heavy but shoots very well for that reason as well as helping you stay on target. Stainless is a breeze to clean. I got the 6 inch and although it's not an IWB carry, it does love motorcycle rides and truck consoles! Love this purchase and the price from Bud's!

Buds, FedEx and local FFL provided on time delivery with a seamless system which could be monitored anytime. Smith and Wesson manufactures good, bad and ugly and you never know what to expect as they by vary model and year. Fortunately they are currently producing better than their usual variance but still not perfection. The received N frame 629-6 barrel 44 mag sight was checked with a laser which indicated the elevation adjustment was in total error and therefore exceeded adjustment limitations. Further measurements showed the rear sight blade is probably for a 3 inch J frame and required replacement from Brownells. S/W still manufactures the gold standard in revolvers but they never get it quite right.

Bought the 4 inch last year and here's the 6 inch. What a great gun, just as good as the 4 inch and with that extra weight with the longer barrel you get a little less felt recoil and plus more velocity. Both great guns and great shipping Buds.
