The 8.375-inch Model 29 is the maximum-velocity hunting configuration, extracting the highest practical velocity from the .44 Magnum in a handgun. Unwieldy for field carry but outstanding on a benchrest or for silhouette competition. The extreme barrel length distinguishes it from field-practical configurations. Type: Revolver Action: Double-Action Caliber: .44 Magnum Capacity: 6 Year introduced: 1955, USA Weight: 52 oz Overall length: 14" Status: Discontinued Intended use: hunting, competition, collector
