Any experience with S&W 329PD?

[TACTICAL111]

Looking at picking one up in the near future, thought it was worth a second to see if anyone had any experience with it.

Smith & Wesson 329PD 44 Mag/Special
Cheers

Do they make one re barreled for Canada? In stock USA form, she be too short. (4 inches)

Looks nice though.

Tell me it`s not so

Sadly yes, 4" and Prohib here in Canukland.

There is a rumoured 6" version (329XL I think or something like that) but for now it's just vaporware

She's a real beaut though!

I'm a self professed Smith nut, but .44 Magnums in a scandium frame? No thanks...

It would be great for ATC carry. Practice with .44 Specials for the sake of your hand and nerves.

I fired 6 rounds of Federal 180 gr JHP thru one and felt like myy haand had been smacked with a bat. Cool blaster but it got my attention right away...

Kills on one end, wounds on the other.

Tried one in MT a while back. Recoil was stout with 240 gr factory ammo. I'd buy one if I came across one here though. - dan

I had a good discussion with S&W about these a couple years ago and we came to the conclusion that if there was a special order for a run of 250 with a 4.25 barrel they would build them. Needless to say I did not order 250 of them.
