So I was in the gunshop tody looking at a 629 44 mag. It looked really good at first glance so I asked to pick it up. Gun was just like new and showed little signs of wear, or so I thought. Started looking at it real hard and someone had buffed off almost all of the "629 CLASSIC". Also the recoil sheild showed it had been buffed to hide how much the gun had been shot.
Geez it took some real study to figure out I didn't want this gun. With a blue gun you can see the honest wear on it but the guys with stainless can buff away tell tale marks as to how the gun was used or abused. Still that 629 Classic was $550 and no hole in the side. I just can't bring myself to buy it:banghead::banghead:
Am I looking at this the wrong way??
