What's Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 629-4 .44 Rem Magnum revolver
- Installed Hogue rubber Monogrip with finger grooves
The Model 629-4 is built on Smith & Wesson's stainless N-frame with a six-shot fluted cylinder and a brushed stainless finish throughout. It operates in double-action/single-action and is configured with a smooth trigger face and a wide, checkered hammer spur.
The 8 3/8 inch barrel is the non-full-lug pattern with an underlug shroud and a serrated rib. It carries a pinned ramp front sight with a red/orange insert. The rear sight assembly has been removed, and the topstrap is factory drilled and tapped.
This example is a 1995 production, pre-internal-lock frame variant marked "Model 629-4" on the yoke cut. Major components — barrel, cylinder, and frame (the serialized receiver) — are stainless steel with a matching brushed stainless finish.
An aftermarket Hogue rubber Monogrip with finger grooves is installed for a secure hold. As configured, this revolver provides a long-sight-radius platform once sights are addressed and is a straightforward candidate for restoration given the parts commonality of the 629-4 series.
