On Board: Smith 24 vs 29
Having trouble finding a 24 but then not overly pleased with the front sight...but the 29 with either 6 or 6.5 inch barrel and sights I can change looks great...although only want to shoot Specials...what say you...thanks in advance..

If the extra weight of the 29 or 629 wouldn't matter, why not? There certainly are more around in whatever dash you think is the best. I would load up special-like loads in the magnum cases, though, but that's just me. Since my thumbs can't take magnum loads in .430" revolvers anyway, the special does it, and I'm happy I found my 624. I do like the 6.5" barrel, too.

Yes I recently got a 48 with 6.5 inch barrel and really like that length. Have TC 14 inch in 44 but that seems more like a sawed off rifle than a pistol...have 6.5 inch 44 FT Ruger 50th Anniv....but I shoot my Smith's more accurately for some reason...6 or 6.5 seems right to me...
I like them both I even have a 29-2 with a 24 6.5" barrel on

it. It is one of my very favorite handguns. Like Jerry, I shoot far more mid range and .44 specila loads than heavy .44 mags in my .44s.![[image]](images/uploaded/201111061959484eb6e734a29d1.jpg)
