Our Assessment: Developed in a collaboration between Smith & Wesson and Remington with the input of big-bore handgun shooters including Elmer Keith, The .44 Magnum revolver and cartridge took the revolver world by storm in the 1950s, later to be known worldwide, even outside the firearms community, as “the most powerful handgun in the world” due to its portrayal in the Dirty Harry movies. This is Smith & Wesson’s famous Model 29-9 built on the N-Frame with a square butt. This revolver has a nice blued finish, with a wide serrated case-colored trigger and wide checkered hammer. This one has hardly any wear, a great bore, and great mechanics. Its 6.5” barrel, blued finish, and one of the most gorgeous walnut grip grades I’ve ever seen combine for a revolver that is as pretty as it is badass. Please see our pictures and good luck!
