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 29-10 built on the N-Frame with a square butt. If you're in the market for a silhouette shooting, hunting, or just informal target shooting revolver this is it. That being said, it has hardly any wear and has tasteful scroll engraving, this is a classic addition to any collection. Please see our pictures and good luck!
