Just traded in my Beretta M9A1 for a S&W 629 Classic. It has a 5” barrel and hardly fired. Really mint condition.

Love mine, 4 incher though. Not a fan of rubber grips.
The 5” classic series are excellent revolvers. I personally think that they balance the best in your hand compared to both the 4” and 6” versions and the full underlug helps tremendously for stability.
I love mine ! It’s my go to hunting revolver.

Does that scope mount right up? And yes those big ole hunk of steel stabilize very well. I loaded up some 240gr XTPs fairly hot and my 629 handled them like a champ. At first I had that flinch where I thought my wrist was gonna take a beating, but the recoil wasn't bad at all.

Excellent deer hunting machine. The newer ones are drilled and tapped under the rear sight channel.
Correct, The newer classic models are drilled and taped on the top strap for scopes rails or mounting plates. The older versions like the one that I posted accepts rails and mounting plates using the screw holes of the original sight mount.

I had mine drilled and tapped for a Leupold mount.
