Gents,
I was loaned a S&W 629 by a good friend to take with me to Yellowstone while I fish and pack. I shoot mostly 45acp & 40SW for competition and have been for 10 years+. I ask here as I have not shot a 44mag since my first attempt at a handgun in 1976 when an acquaintance thought it amusing for me to shoot his 8" 44 mag Ruger Blackhawk. It cut the heck out of my thumb twice which ended my shooting interest at that time.
I'm headed to Wally world to get some practice ammo and then will be purchasing a Kydex holster(OWB) for when I'm hiking in Yellowstone. What can I expect from this SW 6" model as far as recoil, follow up shots, rapid fire control and backcountry ammo preference for Grizz??? I'd appreciate your immediate response as I leave in 2 weeks and will use this time frame to practice with this nice revolver.
Thanks in Advance,
Racine
