I was running errands and stopped by the LGS to say hello.
I chatted with my friend who is now the manager there. He didn't have anything in the cases that I was interested in. I was about to leave, then he mentioned that he had a gun in the back that he was planning to buy himself, but maybe I could save him some money.
It was a 629 with fancy grips and sights, and a ported barrel. It had barely been shot (they got it from a regular customer who is a collector and doesn't shoot much). It's a "classic" with fancy grips and very nice sights. He had the box, original papers, and a spare set of black rubber grips.
I ended up making probably a not very good deal by trading five lesser handguns for the 629 straight-up.
The DA trigger is not that great, but it hasn't really been broken in (almost zero turn line). The SA trigger is excellent. I am looking forward to shooting it in the next few days. It fits my XXL hands very well.
I have never owned a Model 629 or 29. Any advice towards cleaning, maintenance, ammo, or holsters would be much appreciated.
