Okay, there's just something special about 3" barreled S&W N-Frame revolvers. I'm very strongly considering getting a 3" M629 "Trail Boss" in .44 Magnum to compliment my 5" 629 Classic.
What I don't like about it is the unfluted cylinder. Without the full underlug, the unfluted cylinder looks funny. They used to make a version with a fluted cylinder, but that version is ported, and I don't want that either.
They do make a version that's got a fluted cylinder and lacks porting, but I don't think you can get it unless you buy the whole Emergency Kit Thing.
Anyway, if I do pick up that Trail Boss, one chang is going to be made. I don't like the Hogue monogrip. It's going to go, replaced probably with Pachmayr Compac grips or possibly Eagle Secret Service. I think the Secret Service grips won't be comfortable on a .44 Magnum, though.
Anyway, who else loves 3" N-Frames? Let's see your pictures!
