I love the S&W, very nice condition. Colts are fine, too, but I'm a S&W guy. Do you know the age of that Smith? The dash-2 was made for 20 years, 1962-1982. I've got a nickel 6" made in 1979.I've started 2023 off on an aggressive note. I picked up a new Colt 6" Anaconda and a S&W Model 29-2 8 & 3/8". And they are sweeeet shooters.

I'm pretty sure you've violated some serious rules by having a Colt and S&W in the same picture!
Great catch, though. I'm definitely jealous
I also had a Columbian Policia National Colt, though mine was an Army Special which had been fitted with a full barrel lug, S&W adjustable rear sights and a dangerously bad trigger job....The Colt is a new production, which isn’t bad in and of itself. But the Smith, with its target hammer and target trigger, feels so crisp and smooth.
I picked up a Columbian National Police Official Police, also in January, but it doesn’t quit fit in with these two gorgeous ladies. December saw me bring home several S&W’s, maybe January is the month of Colt?
1973, according to SCSW. 1971 would be five digits after the N.I believe it was born in 1971.

I have a M28-2 with SN N189xxx and it is 1973

Unfortunately, the lockwork wasnt salvageable and it ended up being parted out.
I'm sure the Colt got an ego boost from being in the same picture with the ORIGINAL .44 Magnum.
It sure did! That 29 is what 44 mag's are all about and it oozes character. The new Colt is sort of just a characterless machine, but it has it's own charm in an efficient, mediocre trigger sort of way.
Yes they are sweet shooters.I've started 2023 off on an aggressive note. I picked up a new Colt 6" Anaconda and a S&W Model 29-2 8 & 3/8". And they are sweeeet shooters.
I have two new production Anacondas (6" and 8") and a new production 6" Python and I'm pleased with them. The single action trigger is comparable or better than an N-frame S&W revolver. Also, the Colt pistols weigh a bit more than the equivalent S&W revolves which makes the Colt recoil feel a bit less. Of course, the extra weight has its detractions as well.Nice! Unless the S&W is an outlier - or has been fooled with - that SA trigger should be utter perfection.
The new Colts are intriguing. I don't have as much experience with DA Colts as I would like. Please let us know how it works out!
