I'm going to buy either a used Smith & Wesson 29 or 629, or a new Ruger Redhawk 4" in the next month here.
There's a BIG, AWFUL, UGLY REASON that I won't be buying a new Smith.
Can someone give me some good links to study up on what all the hyphen numbers mean in Smith-ese? The dominant gun I see for sale buy Gunbroker for what I'm looking for is a 29-2, and I don't know much about submodel variations... Are any submodels "Bad" due to design flaws in them?
If I can't find a good Smith 29/629 after a few weeks, I'm gonna buy a Redhawk 4". I just need to be well armed for my pawn shop and used gun shop quest for a good, carryable 29 or 629.
BTW, finish isn't a big deal to me. This gun will probably be carried a lot and get sweat on it, brush and bushes brushing against it, lots of holster wear, etc.
