    Ported barrels

    Porting the barrel of a semiauto almost always entails also porting the slide, as shown in the post above me and in this photo of my Omega LSP: Without that, I am not certain that you will see any benefit, unless you go with a longer barrel and port the portion that extends beyond the slide...

    Is this mod. 29 a Lew Horton?

    That's a different model and not a Lew Horton version. They're still nice shooters. This is a pair (one heavily modified) of the ones you have:

    S & W 627 .357 8-times

    To which contour are you referring? I like this one: It is a modern rendition of the classic Model 27 profile:

    Revolvers and OWB holsters

    +1 to the PMK. I have one for a 3" N-frame and my 242. It is perfect for this size revolver.

    Holster for Smith model 65?

    IWB is doable if your pants have the slack in them. OWB is far more comfortable for me. If you go OWB, the ubiquitous photographers vest or some other cover garment becomes de rigeur. I like the Sparks PMK for a sub 3" revolver:

    "Proper" revolver holster--where?

    That design doesn't sound very concealable. My personal favorite for OWB carry of short barreled revolvers is the PMK from Milt Sparks.

    S&W of my dreams!

    Your best bet is to build your own. Everything you mentioned (except the fixed sight frame) can be done aftermarket. You can even approximate the fixed sights with what I consider to be a better option: the C&S Extreme Duty version. I don't know why you would prefer Tenifer to plain...

    The Urban Battle Ax...

    What are the dimensions on the Talon? I have Ryan's "Crash Axe": It is 18" from top to bottom and 6" from the hammer to the blade edge?

    S&W 627 PC - does not fire in double action

    Exactly. It looks like this: The ring along the outer edge of the cylinder allows the case rims to provide headspace with or without the moonclips installed. Rick

    Knifeless in Seattle- "making do" with TSA

    My general course of action in this situation is to pick up another SAK. You can never have too many.

    Proprietary steels

    The other thing to keep in mind is that INFI is the specific alloy coupled with a very specific heat treat recipe that was developed by Jerry Busse. But Jerry is not immune to marketing-speak. See Swamp Rat's SR101 (aka 52100) and Scrapyard's SR77 (aka S-7) for examples thereof. Rick (a bit...

    .44 mag barrel

    According to the online law archives for MN, caliber and cartridge length are the issues: https://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/statutes/?id=97B.031 The bold sections were annotated by me.

    Improving revolver sights

    Two 3" 44 magnums (chromed 29 on the left and 629 on the right): Meprolights on the 29, C&S Extreme Duty fixed on the 629. I prefer the C&S, but they need to be set up for the load you intend to always shoot.

    Smith&Wesson Model 627 8-shot

    That is the Cylinder&Slide Extreme Duty sight. They are a drop in for the newer frames with the rounded sight base. Meprolights on the left, C&S on the right.

    Underlugs and their function

    First time I have ever heard that. The name I recall is Distinguished Combat Magnum as opposed to the original Combat Magnum.

    Best Revolver for Hunting and Packing

    Depending on my mood, it will be one of these: They're both 629-4 models, with the endurance package. The 3" version has been given Cylinder & Slide fixed sights and some other action work. The 6.5" Classic Power Port is stone cold stock. I had initially mounted a 2X scope on it for...

    S&W M-29 3" "Bounty Hunter"

    You're welcome. While I have ordered a couple holsters directly from Tony and Company, I got this particular copy from Craig and Audrey at Lightning Arms: http://www.lightningarms.com/products.htm You might drop them a line/call and see if they have one in stock. Rick

    S&W M-29 3" "Bounty Hunter"

    This is a 629-4 Backpacker in a Milt Sparks PMK: For me, this is the perfect packing holster for a revolver this size. Rick
