I bought Mod 29 in 1973, it also is a 6.5" barrel. I have shot it six times in it's life. Paid $400 for it. By the way Dirty Harry used a 8 3/8 barrel.
I have a model 29-2. 8 3/8 in. barrel.I believe they were built in the mid to late 70's. I bought mine in 1978.I have shot several thousand rds. thru it and have never had a problem with it.It is probably my FAVORITE gun that i have!I also reload all my bullets for it.
Very nice handgun. Regarding "Dirty Harry": The M29 used in the film WAS the 6.5 inch barrelled version. If you want to confirm it check out the length of the ejector shroud in proportion to the length of the barrel. The 8 3/8 inch version does not look so elegant imho. That was used by De Niro in "Taxi Driver". I think the story of the Model 57 .41 magnum being used is a myth. It is dimensionall exactly the same as an M29 other the the calibre.
The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson states that the model 29-2 was manufactured between 1962-1982. In 1982 the pinned barrel and cylinder counterbore was eliminated. Yours is clearly pinned and recessed. You have a very nice revolver there and you got a good deal on it! Great video!
@StiviGun1 yes it is 6inch (side note: When they were directing Dirty Harry, a .44 looked to big on camera so they gave Clint Eastwood a .41 magnum to fit him better)
WOW BRO !! OWN SEVERAL 629,S but man thats like the holy grail,, hope u know what u have there congrats and thank you very much for sharing that awesome vintage smith 29,,,im totally stoked!!
@OsanBlackCat5RS I completely agree. I would never put a scope on a handgun personally, but that's just me. I guess its good that the previous owner tried to put a scope on this pistol though, because it brought it down to a price range I could afford.
Watching this makes me wish I'd never sold mine, same gun except for Houge grips and Lyman sights.

pistols are much better than 2 handed rifles and such in my opinion. much fancier and looks awsome in display
