Scandium-alloy framed N-Frame revolver that weighs just 26 ounces unloaded despite chambering the .44 Magnum. The 329PD was controversial at introduction because full-power .44 Mag loads are extremely punishing in such a light gun, but its portability for woods carry is unmatched. Type: Revolver Action: Double-Action Caliber: .44 Magnum Capacity: 6 Year introduced: 2003, USA Weight: 26 oz Overall length: 9.5" Status: Active Intended use: Defense, Woods Carry, Bear Protection
