Description
This Smith & Wesson Pre-29 is an early .44 Magnum N-frame classic, built before the model numbers were officially roll-marked on the frame. It features the desirable 6.5" pinned barrel, deep high-polish blue finish, and factory checkered target stocks with silver medallions. The finish presents beautifully with only light handling marks visible in the photos, and the sharp edges, clean screw heads, and vivid case colors on the hammer and trigger all suggest careful, limited use.
Designed as a full-power magnum revolver, this Pre-29 brings together excellent balance, controllable recoil, and precision accuracy. The 6.5" barrel length gives you a generous sight radius and great velocity potential for hunting, silhouette shooting, or long-range steel. The red-ramp front and adjustable rear sights are classic S&W target equipment, making this a serious shooter as well as a top-tier collector piece.
For the Smith & Wesson enthusiast or .44 Magnum fan chasing an iconic N-frame to anchor their collection, this Pre-29 with serial S171047 checks all the right boxes—early production, beautiful blue, correct target features, and ready for the range or the display case.
