Not a carry gun

Just bought this today. My carry gun came in today, but naturally I got delayed, so I went out and bought this FTF, no problemo!

S&W 29-2 8 3/8" .44 Magnum

Thanks! Couldn't let it get away. These things are not too easy to come by.

Great looking gun, but you're right--it wouldn't be easy to conceal.

I simply adore those N-frame Smiths. To me, they are the epitome of classic large-frame revolvers.

As for carry... heh, forget that. Try just qualifying with one. About 30 years ago, dad got this idea that he needed to carry a 29 to be a "real cop." I think he had seen too many movies. He bought two of the things, went down to the department's range, and he managed to qualify. He couldn't make a fist for a few days, but he could carry that cannon on duty. About a week later, he traded in one of the 29s for a 19. Smart move.

Think I'll go over to Hollywood Video and see if they have a copy of "Dirty Harry".
