The Model 329PD is a Scandium alloy-framed N-Frame .44 Magnum revolver weighing only 26.5 oz — nearly half the weight of a standard steel Model 629. The trade-off is extreme recoil that makes it challenging with full-power .44 Magnum loads. Type: Revolver Action: Double-Action Caliber: 44 Magnum Capacity: 6 Year introduced: 2003, USA Weight: 26.5 oz Overall length: 9.5" Status: Active Intended use: Field / Bear Defense
