Exceptional period-custom Smith & Wesson Model 29-2 revolver chambered in .44 Magnum, serial number N858803, professionally modified for performance by Mag-na-port. This distinctive 4-inch N-frame retains its desirable pinned barrel, which has a bright bore with sharp rifling and was treated with Mag-na-ports signature muzzle porting. The revolver received an action job and was refinished in durable hard chrome, transforming the originally blued- or nickel-finished carbon-steel Model 29 into a striking custom revolver. Of particular interest, a stainless Model 629 cylinder was fitted to the gun as part of its period customization, creating an unusual two-material configuration. Additional features include a target hammer and trigger, adjustable target rear sight, orange-insert front sight, and black Pachmayr rubber grips. The hard-chrome finish shows signs of use, appropriate for a performance-built revolver of this age. A Smith & Wesson aluminum gun case is included.
The Model 29 is among Smith & Wessons most iconic N-frame revolvers and became synonymous with the .44 Magnum cartridge. The 29-2 represents the classic pinned-barrel era of the model and has become especially popular with collectors of traditional Smith & Wesson magnums. This example is decidedly different from an untouched factory revolver: it represents the era of professionally hot-rodded magnum handguns, when established specialty shops modified premium revolvers for improved handling, recoil control, and performance. Mag-na-port developed its EDM-cut barrel-porting system during this period and became particularly associated with custom work on powerful handguns. The combination of Mag-na-port treatment, hard-chrome refinishing, fitted stainless Model 629 cylinder, and target components gives this revolver exceptional period custom character.
