Overview

The SMITH & WESSON 629-1 offered here (SN: AWA8831) is a circa 1980s early-model N-frame, double-action revolver chambered for .44 Magnum with a 6″ barrel. The bore is described as bright with strong rifling — a key indicator of a well-maintained barrel and reliable accuracy potential. This example pairs very good stainless with chrome parts and well-preserved walnut grips, and it ships with its original box from our Dallas location at a price of $1,295.99.

Performance and Ballistics

Why the .44 Magnum?

The .44 Magnum delivers significant stopping power and deep penetration for hunting medium game, long-range target work, and defensive scenarios where maximum energy is required. The 6″ barrel on this 629-1 maximizes velocity and sight radius, translating to tighter groups and more consistent point-of-impact compared to shorter-barreled counterparts.

Barrel and Action

A bright bore and strong rifling mean the rifling lands and grooves are well defined, aiding accuracy and even barrel life. The early N-frame double-action design offers a robust lockup and a traditional trigger feel that experienced shooters appreciate for both deliberate single-action shots and rapid double-action follow-ups.
