Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson 329 Personal Defense 44mag Revolver

Buds was fast and reliable as usual. I really like this gun. Great fit and finish. The stock trigger is on the heavier side, but very smooth. Just take off the wood grips from Altimont that this model comes with. The fit is terrible and they’ll tear up the web of your hand. I found a set of Ahrends grips that this model USED to come with, and they feel amazing. (I just don’t care for rubber grips). The recoil is not painful as so many others say, even with good wooden grips. It is stout, but with practice it becomes very manageable. I had the cylinder cut for moon clips and did some minor trigger work….. this has become my favorite carry gun for a lot of reasons. 1 pound lighter than a stainless 629 4” is not insignificant for carry. You will learn to manage the recoil with practice, just give it a chance.

One of the nicest shooting 44. Magnums for the weight. Accurate and a pleasure to carry

This is the nicest .44 I’ve ever help and shot. Smith and Wesson has put together the ultimate tool for protecting me out on my bow hunting adventures. Buying this Smith and Wesson 320PD .44 mag from Buds Gun Shop was east and hassle free. Great customer service and fastest delivery time I’ve ever had! Buds Gun Shop has you covered!

This is a cool gun. Loaded a lighter 200 grain magnum load for it and shot specials. Only complaint is that the sights are ridiculously high. Function well though. Seems trivial, but if you're going to have a cool, expensive gun, why not make it a sexy cool expensive gun.

Haven't been able to actually test the M329PD yet due to ammunition shortages, but apart from some small details, I love the feel of the wood grips. The front high visibility sight doesn't sit flush with the pin, which has a slight wobble, but am sure that might be a rare defect. Or my FFL smacked his head with it during my background check, because the cylinder was dirty. If Smith & Wesson makes a .460 version of this revolver with a fluteless cylinder, I am definitely purchasing one through Buds Gun Shop. Their speed and service blew me away!!!

I've ordered from Bud's before but they really outdid themselves this time. It was only a matter of days after my order was placed that my gun was at my Colorado FFL. Fast, fast, FAST! I've taken the 329PD out once since getting it. As other folks have stated, wearing a glove makes the experience better. Fit, finish, timing and lockup are what you'd expect from S&W.
