Few handguns bridge the gap between target-grade accuracy and raw stopping power like heavy N-frame revolvers. For shooters who demand a blend of reliability, calibrated balance, and serious terminal performance, a well-built .44 Magnum revolver remains a top choice.

SMITH & WESSON 629 DELUXE is a stainless-steel, double-action revolver built on the large N-frame and chambered for .44 Magnum and .44 Special. Its 6-round capacity, exposed hammer, and adjustable rear sight make it versatile for both precision competition and serious field use.

Design and construction

The SMITH & WESSON 629 DELUXE uses a full-size N-frame machined from stainless steel to resist corrosion and provide a solid platform. The significant weight—51.2 oz—helps tame muzzle rise and felt recoil when firing powerful .44 Magnum loads, improving follow-up shot control. A textured wood grip offers a traditional touch while aiding purchase during recoil recovery.

Barrel, sights, and trigger

This model ships with a 6.5″ barrel that balances sight radius and maneuverability; overall length is 11.625″. The front sight is a red ramp with a white outline paired with an adjustable rear, allowing fine zeroing for iron-sight precision at longer ranges. The action delivers a light, crisp trigger pull in single-action and reliable double-action performance, which is why many competitive shooters favor this configuration.

Caliber and capacity

Chambered for .44 Magnum (and compatible with .44 Special), the SMITH & WESSON 629 DELUXE offers broad utility. .44 Magnum provides exceptional energy for big game hunting and situations where deep penetration and stopping power matter. The six-shot cylinder keeps balance and weight distribution predictable through a string of shots.
