Sounds like a great carry gun. Rubber grips and loaded down .44 mag should make a good woods bumming gun for the lower 48.

Perfect match for my S&W 386 (18.5oz .357Mag), which the wife has pretty much "adopted".
Now we can have "His & Hers" scandiums, and just in time for Valentine's Day!
Wish this 329 had a 7-shot cylinder too, though.

I have a 360 kit gun. 14 oz. The 329 is the 360 on steroids. If I got one, I would load it down like I load down the 360. I like having a strength reserve, but I don't want to use it. I can't believe the 360 or 329 would have the endurance of the steel guns. They seem pretty specialized to me. Carried much, shot little.

How's that for a motto. :D

Handsome looking gun, but expensive, I bet. Given S&W's interest in scandium alloy frames, it had to happen someday. Anyhow, sounds like my 296 and 396 are longer the last word in big-bore lightweights. :cool:

I hope they get their quality control up as it is a neat concept and I would buy one if it was better than the trash brand new mt. gun I just owned briefly.

I'd buy one if Smith and Wesson would publically withdraw from the "deal" instead of just "ignoring it while there is a friendly administration in office" and get rid of the dumbass lock.

I guess I'll just have to use a 5.5" Redhawk and put up with a little extra weight, but have a gun that can shoot full snort loads.

Greeting's All,

While the new S&W 329PD .44 magnum looks great, I
won't be departing with my 5" S&W 629-5 "Classic"
.44 magnum. However, I might save up some funds
and purchase a copy of the new product!

Best Wishes,
