Curious to know from those whom have owned handled both. How does the Colt J frame (trooper mark III) handle compared to a Smith and Wesson N frame (Model 29 specifically)?
Reason I ask is here in good ole NY the LGS won't let me handle any handguns until permit paperwork has been filed and approved and I'm in the stage of planning my first revolver purchase (hoping by summer). When I was younger in WI I handled my fathers Mark III extensively and will be inherenting that once I get "state approval". That particular firearm fits me well and is as far as I can remember a comfortable shooter. These days I still love the .357 but have also fallen in love with .44 magnum. I've acquired a bit of a stash to feed my lever action and would love a revolver to match. Always loved the Smith Model 29.
So curious to know how they compare handling wise and or if yall would have any recommendations for a .44 mag that would compare if there is a huge difference. Looking at something with a 4-6.5in barrel.
Primary use is a range tool, but plan on carrying ethier depending on flavor of the day.
