I perfer to shoot 44 special through my raging bull the 44 mag full power loads are hard on my hand. Im not sure why but my 454 dosnt even kick as hard as the 44. maby the difference is the 454 has a longer barrel.
Does this gun have that thin steel star under the extractor? There's one on my 38 special and it's a little loose. What is that part and is it supposed to be loose?
hey im getting into guns and i wanted you to know you really have tought me alot you say your from ky well im in cincy we should get together sometime and have some funs with guns
Just a coule of questions, Why don't you use gass-checks with your magnum load lead bullets? I always use them on magnum loads, lead fowling is reduced a lot.
And as for the Garrett cartridges 310gr, lovely ones, but i do find the S&W 44 frame to weak for those loads. I always go to a Ruger Super Redhawk for the 310 and 330gr heavy hunting bullets. Much stronger platform than the model29 for hunting etc. with max loadings.
Sir, I am considering a new Smith revolver. I have owned a couple over the years but have none at the moment. I'd like your opinion on the internal lock. Do you think it's unwise to buy one with the ILS? Some may say get a used Smith but I prefer to buy my guns brand new. I'll most likely buy a new Smith, I just wanted your experienced opinions on the matter. Thanks
For some stupid reason, which i'm pretty sure about anyhow, Smith and Wesson cancelled the famous Model 29 revolver then came out with the Model 629... to get a model 29 .44 magnum revolver you'd have to search for a while then proceed to pay-out-the-ass. Isn't that dandy... :D
@TheBassGuitarist1 Actually the 44 magnum is not stronger than all of the 45 caliber cartridges. Both the 454 Casull and the 460 S&W are more powerful than the 44 magnum.
@froggergoat, Same thing. Remington developed the cartridge, so the full name is ".44 Remington Magnum"; however, most people just say .44 Magnum. The .40 caliber is actually a ".40 S&W" cartridge, but we usually just call it the .40 caliber.
Greetings Hickok! BRANANDOOOM from NC here. I was just wondering, maybe its my imagination, but I seem to recall you knocking down most of those animal targets with one shot from the Glock 9mm and here with the .44spl it seems to take several. Why is this? Then again it could be my bad memory mashing all the Hickok45 vids I've been ingesting over the past few weeks. I enjoy the hell out of the ones I've seen so keep 'em comin'!
Have you gone hunting with the 4 inch barrel? I am thinking of getting a 629 or 29 with the four inch barrel to take camping for protection and would also like to hunt with it as well. Also for grips, wood vs rubber, what do you think?
@YuanMizzle python is a 357 a 629 is a 44 one is a colt one is a smith the smith is cheaper ( because the colts are out of production) and the colt python is blued while the smith and wesson model 629 is stainless... for a first revolver id get the 357 because bullets are cheaper and less recoil ( unless experienced with high recoil)
@spiffinz .44 is actually .429 but u can buy bullets in .430 and .431 because different manufacturers and barrels vary and some will shoot more accurately with a slightly oversized bullet
@spiffinz back in the day bullet diameter was measured by measuring the casing outer diameter not the actual bullet diameter. most bullets back then were similar to .22s where the bullet and casing were the same diameter. i forget the actual term for that. anyways eventually most bullet diameters were made smaller than that of their casing diameter but the old measuring system was still used for a bit. kind of like a 38 special is actually a ".357 special" due to actual bullet diameter
@spiffinz The .44 measurement comes from the old wild-west cartridge, the .44-40 where the measurement is actually of diameter at the end of the case, just where the bullet is (the "neck" of the case) which was .443-inch. The bullet was smaller but was used in other more modern cartridges like .44 Special and .44 magnum where the ".44" name stuck, even though it is more exactly ".429".
.44 magnum of course had a .429 barrel for a .429 bullet.
I don't own a gun and have only fired one a couple of times in my life. Can't recall how I stumbled across your channel HOURS ago while I was taking a break from uni studying but your videos are very entertaining ! and distracting

Hey, Hickok, good to see you shoot a S&W Revolver. I talked about them with you a while ago because I fell in love shooting my grandpa's S&W up in Georgia. I shoot straighter with these than I do a Glock! but bullets fly everywhere when I attempted DA shooting. It had a real long pull. This revolver was more than 50 years old, though. Wonder if the new ones are different.
Hickok45 gonna do a little shotting today lil messing around lets see if we can reach out to the gong out there , " BINGGG BONGGG DING DONG PING PING DONG DING DING BING BING BONG PONG PING "
i would cry if i shot one of those garretts out of a 4 inch thanks for your time and videos really enjoyable! you should do a lot of videos about 44 mags
you shoot pretty good for a man approaching his 90's. i'm impressed. i remember the when these pieces doubled at gun shows after a certain film debuted. i shoot a colt with warm loads only; i agree the full house loads are no fun. can't imagine firing a .50 s&w.
What sort of holster is that? Galco's Kodiak holster looks similar, but I don't think that one is it. I'm looking for one for my 5.5" Redhawk.
Speaking of, it always seems to beat my hands up. Everyone shoots 44 magnums with stock grips, and I'd like to do the same, but it just beats up my hands. Any suggestions on how to grip it? Looser is better and allows the gun to roll up (moreso with SAA style guns), but then you seem to be doing just fine with a nice tight/firm grip.
@DigitalSim Woops, I see the link to the holsters now. Sorry! But I'm still looking for grip tips. I'm not ready to give up my stock grips yet. Tyler T-Grips and the stock Ruger grips are just so classy!
I looked this gun up and saw that it is a .44 mag version of a 686. This gun was no the one you have in this video. The one in this is video is a model 29 I think.
@Gewehr7 , LOL, I'm sure Hickok knows what he is talking about. It's a 629. It's exactly like the Model 29 but it is the STAINLESS version. S&W usually put a 6 in front of stainless guns. For example, there is the S&W 442 .38spl and then there is the S&W 642. Same gun, different finish. I like blue guns more but them stainless ones are sure growing on me.
@TheBassGuitarist1 Dude I think you read it wrong. I said I looked the gun up on the Smith and Wesson website and I know it is real. I never denied its existence. By the way as you can see many people have already corrected me and told me that I was just plain wrong. Is OK
This was made on my birthday. 15:35 you can see the bullet, fucking great. 16:41 DON'T give liberals any ideas on how to turn people against shooting.
Hickok, could you comment on the sort of factory loads a model 29-2 should be fed? I've read everything from "only feed it .44 special, any magnum loads will shoot it loose" to "any standard (non+p) .44 mag load is fine" to "anything, even the occasional +p is fine." Picked up a factory-fired only 29-2 at a show the other day, and it will be shot, some, by me; perhaps 100 rounds a year or some such light range duty. Seems the consensus is to stick with .44 specials and 240 grain .44 mag. Thanks.
Berore they were banned here in the People's Republic of the United Kingdom I owned a 4" S&W 629 Mountain Gun (i.e. a lightweight .44 Magnum 4" revolver, for the uninitiated) and an 83/8" S&W 629, plus a Marlin .44 Magnum carbine. Excellent calibre. Elmer Keith was a legend and I used his Keith style wadcutter for most of my shooting. Horrible to think that they are probably part of a dishwasher or a Volvo now, as we are not safe, as a nation, to own handguns, apparently!! Phooey!!!
Have not seen that gun in a while, thats such a beauty! I really do like that holster that you recieved, have you had a chance to really put it to the test by wearing it all day around the property?
Thanks hickok45, one of my more favorite videos, and its a new one too. You are definitely getting very good at this and improving. Its nice to see the amount of effort you guys put in your passion. Keep it up.
hey hickok: have you done/ can you do an video on ammo? I hear you talk a lot about how different heats of ammo effect the gun, and I'd like to hear more about hollow points, fmj etc. and see what would be best. thanks!
You can really see the difference when looking at the gong after Hickok45 put some .44 specials on it. Notice the difference in hit damage on the surface. the .44 specials are way smaller.
I always wondered why a stainless steel variant of a gun had a 6 at the beginning, yo know like m29 becomesthe m629, is there a reason for the 6 that you know of hickok?
@njrobinson95 , This has been discussed before. The answer was he is way to good for them and he didn't want to hurt there fillings. Ain't he a nice guy.
I noticed how dirty your hands got. I had the same experience at the range when I use to shoot my Ruger GP100. I would leave the range looking like I worked in a coal mine.

Hickok, could you comment on the sort of factory loads a model 29-2 should be fed? I've read everything from "only feed it .44 special, any magnum loads will shoot it loose" to "any standard (non+p) .44 mag load is fine" to "anything, even the occasional +p is fine." Picked up a factory-fired only 29-2 at a show the other day, and it will be shot, some, by me; perhaps 100 rounds a year or some such light range duty. Seems the consensus is to stick with .44 specials and 240 grain .44 mag. Thanks.

Berore they were banned here in the People's Republic of the United Kingdom I owned a 4" S&W 629 Mountain Gun (i.e. a lightweight .44 Magnum 4" revolver, for the uninitiated) and an 83/8" S&W 629, plus a Marlin .44 Magnum carbine. Excellent calibre. Elmer Keith was a legend and I used his Keith style wadcutter for most of my shooting. Horrible to think that they are probably part of a dishwasher or a Volvo now, as we are not safe, as a nation, to own handguns, apparently!! Phooey!!!

Have not seen that gun in a while, thats such a beauty! I really do like that holster that you recieved, have you had a chance to really put it to the test by wearing it all day around the property?

hey hickok: have you done/ can you do an video on ammo? I hear you talk a lot about how different heats of ammo effect the gun, and I'd like to hear more about hollow points, fmj etc. and see what would be best. thanks!

You can really see the difference when looking at the gong after Hickok45 put some .44 specials on it. Notice the difference in hit damage on the surface. the .44 specials are way smaller.

I noticed how dirty your hands got. I had the same experience at the range when I use to shoot my Ruger GP100. I would leave the range looking like I worked in a coal mine.
