Design and construction

The SMITH & WESSON 629 COMPETITOR PERFORMANCE WEIGHTED BARREL is built on the large N-frame and is chambered in .44 Magnum, a caliber known for deep penetration and reliable terminal performance on large game. Constructed of stainless steel, the revolver resists rust and corrosion while its performance-weighted barrel and overall mass—57.2 oz—help offset recoil for faster follow-up shots. The 6-inch barrel and 11.25-inch overall length provide a balanced sight radius for precision work.

Action, trigger, and controls

This double-action revolver features an exposed hammer and a light, crisp trigger pull thanks to the PC tuned action. The chrome hammer and chrome trigger include a trigger stop for consistent break points. Capacity is 6 rounds, feeding the .44 Magnum cylinders reliably for both competition strings and field follow-ups.

Sights, grip, and tuning

Adjustable Patridge dovetail sights allow for precise elevation and windage adjustments—a must for long-range handgun work. Hogue synthetic grips offer a secure purchase and help manage recoil. The model includes adjustable barrel weights and other Performance Center refinements that enhance balance and recoil characteristics. Performance Center guns originate from standard designs and are hand-fitted and fine-tuned for peak accuracy and reliability.
