DHart,
Welcome to the wonderful world of N frames and .44's. They stand beside JMB's 1911 as my favorite pistols. I could be happy with just these two pistols (plus a Marvel Unit 1 conversion for the 1911). The S&W M629's and 629 Classics are great guns. Also extremely accurate. If you don't like full power loads, try handloads with 200-250 grain bullets in the 1000-1100 fps range. That is about midway between a .44 Special and .44 Mag full load.
VERY nice photography too. Gives me something to "shoot for" in my own pictures. Have been shooting 35mm K64 film slides for many years and just this week added a digital camera for quick one-off shots. Some different technology to deal with.
Good shooting and be safe.
