The firearm was shipped promptly, and in great condition as could be expected for a new gun. Gun handles excellent, and very accurate. I think 5 inch barrel is a great length for 44 mag!

First of all, an excellent experience doing business with Buds again! Comms, speed, pain free! They never disappoint 👍 This 629 is perfect for me. The 5” under lug barrel weighs the same as my 1959 vintage 6 1/2” Model 29, which is retired into the safe. I can now enjoy reloading the gamut of loads and shooting the heck out of this! Modern metallurgy leads me to think the current revolvers may be “stronger” than the past. Even though fit and finish may not be on a par with the Old Guard

The "Gold Standard" in Big Bore Boys! Stainless steel with a full lug tames even the hottest loads. The factory grips are a pleasure to hold and .44 Spl is like shooting .22's.

The Smith and Wesson 629 Classic 44 magnum was very difficult to find but Buds Gun Shop had it in stock the very first time I looked for it on their website. This firearm is such a charm to own. The fast and easy ordering process is wonderful to say the least!

This S&W is just what you would expect from such a reputable company. I have a medium size hand and I can easily control this gun. It is great knowing that I have a .44MAG that I can control with confidence. It is a massive round with some kick but the weight of this gun tames it down a good bit. I love it!

Better than any 44 magnum I have ever owned and I have owned several over the 69 years of my life including various S&W model 29 and 629 revolvers.

First off just want to give a huge shout-out to buds for having the best prices that I can find. This pistol has been great I have carried it for three seasons guiding up in Alaska. It's accurate, my only complaint about it is that are a few parts on it that are prone to rust the trigger, the hammer, and the frame underneath the grips. I don't know maybe there's a reason that S&W doesn't put some better coating on those parts, but my suspicion is that they are cutting a few corners. That being said I work in a pretty abusive climate for an extended period of time so you may not have the same problems, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it I trust my life to it.

Beautiful revolver. Very accurate with lighter 240 SWC reloads, and decently accurate wirh 240 JHP Magnum loads

Product received as described. This revolvers function is outstanding. The barrel length is a nice compromise between ballistics, weight and balance. The da trigger pull is about 10lbs and very smooth all the way through. The sa trigger pull is very light and got me close to realizing the accuracy of this revolver. I had a lot of fun getting proficient at 100 yards offhand and inadvertently those long range practice sessions really sharpened up my up close game. The weapon is a beautiful piece of workmanship but the internal lock is just an eyesore that aggravates me to no end but this was a known feature to me at the time of purchase I just didn't know it would bother me to this extent. This "safety" feature never caused any problems and the weapon functioned 100% though about 800 rounds and and a 100 rounds of some very stout Buffalo bore ammo. That stupid keyhole bothered me only a little at first but as I started to really appreciate the craftsmanship and the superior accuracy of this piece I came to hate this useless feature that is supposed to replace proper safety and responsible weapon ownership but that's my only hang up. So I'm looking for one without the lock or maybe a Ruger.

Wow do I Love to shoot this one. Gun always runs flawlessly. I have an older version of the M29 w/ 6 & 1/2" barrel. & the rubberised plastic grips make this M629 w/ 5" barrel. easier on the hand to shoot. The beefed up frame & internals lets me run heaver bullet weights if I want. The full barrel under lug is a nice touch for the heavy loads. I also think this 5" barrel. balances better, carries better, & kinda looks better too.

I like the feel of this gun. No complaints about function or finish.

This is a very good quality firearm. Smith and Wesson has been making handguns for a very long time and the quality shows in this powerful 44 Magnum. The gun is powerful but well balanced and shoots very smoothly for such a powerful load.

I love this gun! I’ve shot many handguns in my life and I own a few. Through the years I’ve always been a fan of 5” and 5 1/2” barrel lengths. They seem to work with my eyes the best. This is the main reason I snapped up this S&W 629 when I got the chance! This gun is perfect! I added some wood grips, because I’m a purest, and now I have the perfect .44 magnum! I really like this gun it shoots perfectly and I run everything from bear loads to cowboy action loads through it with great accuracy at reasonable ranges. If you need a rifle, buy one! But, if you need a versatile and powerful handgun, you will have problems finding a better gun than a 5” S&W 629!

Fast shipping! Excellent purchase!

My S&W 629 was delivered to my FFL with no problems, and upon inspection I saw that it was as flawless as it should be. Shooting a full 50 round box of 240 gr Remington ammo through it today at the range went without a hitch, and I highly recommend this S&W 629 to anyone looking for a fantastic 44 magnum handgun! Bud’s shipped it to my FFL in 3 days, and this time around I had no problems with any of their employees. I intend to buy from them again.

The S&W 629 44 Magnum is well balanced. I find that with a 5 inch barrel that rounds on target are grouped tighter than rounds shot through a 4 inch barrel -- Great. With a trigger job double action, while the trigger pull is long, it is smooth; single action is short and very crisp. I waited a long time to get from Bud's the LE model--the wait was well worth it.

Great revolver. Accurate and comfortable to shoot. I installed the X frame Hogue Tamer grip on it.
