Smith & Wesson 629 .44 Magnum 2 5/8 Inch Exclusive

[SteelBustingBiker]

Sorry my Friend. They use Model 25 (45 LC) in the movie for the larger bore size. Please.... I bought one in 1980.

[guglegulag]

A 44 mag for a carry - that's given me some food for thought!! Question: When you made that tight group in this video, what ammo were you using, and how far away from the target were you? What is the max distance for this short barrel pistol? Thanks a lot!! Great video!

[xXxNORALADYxXx]

nice gun.. but i will buy the 627 .357 magnum with 8 shoots.. ;-) nice video...

[thebeans380]

[thebeans380]

[PhillyHrlyRdr]

Hello: I just purchased this revolver (629 w/ 2.58" barrel) and am looking for a good paddle or in-the-pants holster. Any suggestions.

[shilohtv]

@PhillyHrlyRdr I have all of min e made by Rusty Sherrick

[Slic3R1]

Only cool people carry snubbies

you're awesome and i love your videos

*subscribes*

[shilohtv]

@Slic3R1 Thanks my friend and thanks for watching

[jjohnston94]

Is the string at :53 real time? Nice.

[slt223]

@jjohnston94 Yeah, that was impressive. Don't think I could group like that double action with a snubby that fast.

[jimjimbob123]

.44 magnum is too big as a carry gun unless you're using it as a side arm when hunting large game, otherwise 357. does the job just fine.

[shilohtv]

@jimjimbob123 that is just your opinion I carry mine every day and have for years, like any other firearms there are different loads for different situations, I have a very large hand and find the 44 fits just fine if i am not carrying that i have a 3 inch 625.

[brettous]

@shilohtv If indeed you have such large hands perhaps you could consider The famouas Archie Slap.......with the ...Back of the Right Hand....,ware as instantly they are transported back into there chilhold .....and if that doe'nt work...you cut em or pay em but keep your reciepts cause this an'it the Fucken Mafia......

[Specialized1989]

Soooo awesome, the camera caught the air displacement at 0:30

[shilohtv]

@Specialized1989 Thanks for watching =]

[MarchingBlueNGold]

Wow! Fantastic grouping with such a little gun.

[daniel12131000]

where and how do you get the stub nose for that magnum

[shilohtv]

@daniel12131000 any gun store should be able to get you one, or try guns America web site

[61phantom]

What type of holster do you use for carry?

[shilohtv]

@61phantom Rusty Sherick Rig

[tiggerr42431]

Superb control and accuracy.

[shilohtv]

@tiggerr42431 Thanks for the compliment

[WinchesterRanger]

@shilohtv Perfect, thanks.

[shilohtv]

@WinchesterRanger no problem any time 

[WinchesterRanger]

Very few gun videos on YouTube impress me, but this one did - superb shooting.

May I ask what specific load you are referring to when you mention "lighter combat load"?

[shilohtv]

@WinchesterRanger It is the Black Hills Amunition Elmer Keith 44 Special Load

[Alexanderockport]

Nice grouping!

[shilohtv]

@Alexanderockport Thanks my friend

[shilohtv]

@Alexanderockport Thanks my friend

[Tadpoleriver]

What is the combat carry load that you are shooting out of your 629-6 snubby?

[shilohtv]

@Tadpoleriver 18.5 gr of 2400 under a 250 gr "Keith" bullet

[mkeulr]

Now thats a group.

[shilohtv]

@mkeulr Thank you for watching

[practicalwhacktical]

Wow! Very nice! Not an easy gun to find though. I have a 4" 629 and would love a snub as my carry piece.

[shilohtv]

I carried a 4 inch for years, loved it, you can find the snubs around I ran across mine in a gun store by accident and see them on line regularly

[practicalwhacktical]

@shilohtv Yeah, I saw the snub in the performance center and the night guard configuration. I'm too simple of a man though for the extravagances they have on those though...lol Well, now that I know what to look for I'll be better about keeping my eyes open. Appreciate the reply.

[shilohtv]

Take care and thanks for taking the time to watch

[robin6512]

Damn that's a mighty fine carry gun.

Bit big for me, but sure it's a convincing round...

(i do own a S&W mod 29 5' ... :)) )

[shilohtv]

I love the 5 inch, it is an awesome gun and I used to always have one on my hip when i was in the mountains working you can not do any better and it will do whatever needs to be done.

[dick1911]

What self defense loads would you recommend for this gun for 2 legged creatures? I just go the performance center version. Sweet shooter!

[shilohtv]

I use the Elmer Keith .44 Special Loads From Black Hills for just about everything short of Grizzly, I have never been a fan of hollow points and find them no more effective than the flat nose ammo.

[cacklin1]

good video but can not hear any sound on this one...

[shilohtv]

Make sure your audio controls are centered

[chapmasi]

Nice groupings

[shilohtv]

Thanks my friend, and thanks for watching

[MagneticDog]

I'd love a 629, but it wouldnt be my carry gun. It would sit on my coffe table and look pretty.

[shilohtv]

I love mine, you will find it with me most all of the time

[MagneticDog]

@shilohtv

I respect that. To each his own. Thats like a 40 oz gun no? Too heavy for me and too wide. Concealed carry anyway. Open carry in bear country I would definielty have a 629 on my hip though.

I have a 686P 4 inch. I love it to pieces but that gun is 40+ oz loaded. I'd image the 629 is about the same or a little burlier.

[shilohtv]

Like they say the one you will use is better than the one you leave behind, I have never weighed it, I were in a good open top belt holster or the lawman inside the pants one , the key for me with a any carry gun is a good solid belt. I had a 681 and loved it, I have a 65 3 inch you will see on my belt a good deal, 357's are hard to beat

[MagneticDog]

@shilohtv

Indeed. Carry in confidence with that 44. Good point about the belt, I have to upgrade. Thanks for the vid and damn fine shooting.

[shilohtv]

Thanks, and we appreciate your comments and input, please join us on our man page as well we would love to have you

[old12school3]

Thanks good video!

[shilohtv]

Thanks for watching

[old12school3]

Could you take down a bear with it? Not joking!

[shilohtv]

Absolutely it will , that is what I carried it for not men but the grizzly in Montana where I used to live

[monsterman27]

do you think the trail boss barrel is too short to get a desired velocity to stop a bear?Ive heard a 4 inch barrel is a better option. I just know if i had to stop a bear i want all the atvantages i can get.

[shilohtv]

It is more about ammo than barrel length at those distances, and inch does not make that much of a difference, I have a 4 inch 460 Roland basically a .45 magnum, they both hit about the same

[nbenicewicz]

Hey I don't carry it all the time but sometimes I carry a Smith & Wesson Model 29-2 with a 6 inch barrel in a jacket designed for concealed carry.

[shilohtv]

@nbenicewicz Cool

[bitcheznhos]

my taurus 9 shot .22 hollowpoints perform very similar to this

[shilohtv]

@bitcheznhos .22 is a great round for most things, I use one a deal

[bitcheznhos]

i use 9 a deal.

[dakyz]

I've been looking at the S&W 329 44mag.  how much does the weight difference affect performance and handling in your opinion?

[shilohtv]

A lot of people whine about the weight, I have been carrying a full size gun for a long time so i really do not notice, I love the 44 mag / 44 special because there are so many different loads for it, I will say this stay away fro the lighter weight versions they are very unpleasant to shoot.

[doacarnage]

Try 27 grains of win296 with a 240 grain bullet

[christlubas]

I have one and it is good! my father double-taps full loads cause he is used to high calibers

(PS:40 years of gun training that was enough)

[Morris1962]

What is nice about those revolvers is the potential for variation in the ammunition.

So 44 magnums in the woods for bear or hunting, and 44 specials for defense against humans.

A very nice CCW weapon if you can take the weight. Thanks for posting.

[shilohtv]

I like this gun a lot, works for just about everything I do

[oneshotcon]

beautiful, thanks
