Smith & Wesson Model 629-4 .44 Magnum, 8 3/8 in Stainless DA/SA Revolver with Adjustable Sights
This S&W Model 629-4 is a stainless-steel N-frame .44 Magnum with the long 8 3/8 in standard-profile barrel, adjustable sights, and a six-shot fluted cylinder. It is marked 629-4 on the yoke and carries classic factory rollmarks and trade-mark crest. As configured, it is a strong candidate for a hands-on restoration project or a practical source for parts.

What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 629-4 revolver
The 629-4 is built on S&W’s stainless N-frame with a six-shot fluted cylinder and DA/SA operation. It features a checkered hammer spur and a checkered cylinder-release latch for positive control.
The long 8 3/8 in barrel is the standard-profile half-lug type with a ribbed top and an ejector-rod shroud. Factory barrel rollmarks include "SMITH & WESSON." on one side and ".44 MAGNUM." on the other.
Sights are classic S&W adjustable iron sights: a pinned red-ramp front and a micrometer-adjustable rear, giving a clear sight picture for the extended barrel length.
Construction is all stainless steel, including the frame and cylinder, with the S&W circular trade-mark crest and "MADE IN U.S.A." Springfield, Mass. address on the frame. The revolver wears a one-piece wrap-around black rubber grip with finger grooves in the Monogrip style.
Given its configuration and current state, this revolver is well-suited to those interested in restoring a handgun or sourcing parts for an S&W N-frame project.
