Pre-Lock Smith & Wesson Model 629-1 .44 Magnum Revolver

Overview

Offered here is a classic Smith & Wesson Model 629-1 chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, featuring the desirable 8⅜-inch barrel and stainless steel construction. Built on Smith & Wesson's legendary N-Frame, the 629 series has long been regarded as one of the finest double-action .44 Magnum revolvers ever produced, combining strength, accuracy, and timeless styling.

Introduced as the stainless counterpart to the famed Model 29, the Model 629 quickly became a favorite among hunters, outdoorsmen, target shooters, and collectors seeking the power of the .44 Magnum with the durability and corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

This early 629-1 example remains in great overall condition and displays normal signs of light use and handling. The stainless finish presents exceptionally well, the bore is great, and the revolver retains its attractive factory target stocks. The longer 8⅜-inch barrel provides an extended sight radius, improved velocity, and excellent balance for hunting and target shooting applications.

Whether destined for the field, the range, or an advanced Smith & Wesson collection, this is an excellent example of a desirable early-production no-lock .44 Magnum.

Collector Notes

The Model 629-1 represents an increasingly desirable period of Smith & Wesson production. Manufactured before the introduction of the internal lock system and during an era widely respected by collectors, these early N-Frame magnums continue to enjoy strong demand.

The 8⅜-inch barrel configuration is particularly attractive to shooters and collectors alike, offering excellent balance, increased velocity, and the long sight radius preferred for hunting and precision shooting. Examples in high condition have become increasingly difficult to locate as more enthusiasts seek out pre-lock Smith & Wesson revolvers.
