I am looking for a S&W model 29 6 1/2 blued but no local shops seem to stock anything but the 629. Is the classic 29 a poor seller and that's why nobody has any in stock? I've always wanted one and even the sales fellows don't know why they only have the 629.
Model 29 classic seems hard to find?

lol, no its not a poor seller, if your looking for an vintage 70s model 29, they are just hard to find as they are very sought after. Now, if your looking for the newer model 29-10, then we are talking something different.
IRUNGUNS has one coming mid december:

Ya thats probably a 29-10, the question is, is the op looking for a vintage model 29 or a newer model.

I picked up a 100% mint 29-2 just over a month ago from a dealer. Someone else beat me to it but it was just past closing and then they didn't call the dealer back with their info the next day so I happened to phone back just to make sure it was sold and BAM........MINE! I still can't believe the condition, immaculate. Keep looking because they DO pop up, it just takes alot of looking and waiting and keeping enough $$ set aside to 'pop' on one when it shows.
He asked for the "Classic"
I just got a pretty mint looking 29-2 as well, vintage 1976. 8 & 3/8 bbl, its at the post office now, will get it Monday! I have been looking for awhile, i wanted a 6.5 inch bbl but this gun was in too good a shape to pass up. Now i have never owned one, so its possible i may not like it, but we will see lol.
New model 629s with 5 inch barrel have classic written on them. However, if he meant vintage, then i stand corrected.

Bahaha! It's worth buying just to ogle the beauty! Enjoy.
I still never get sick of looking at that gun just the same.

As it seems to be causing you a significant amount of discomfort, I'll see what I can do in future to eliminate that dilemma for you.
Don't worry what other people think or say, you go on posting whatever pictures you want to that contain S&W revolvers.

Here is hoping you post the picture another 15 times in the next 12 months.
