Looking for information on 5" 44 magnum
Years ago I seen a Smith 5" barrel 44 magnum. The lug under the barrel was not full length. I did not have the cash with me at the time. Went back the next day and it was gone. I nearly cried, it had the best balance I have ever felt. Not to mention it looked awesome. I haven't seen one since. Could someone point me in the right direction in finding one.... Please

That looks like the animal. Five inches from the front of the cylinder to the end of the muzzle?
All I can find on Smith's web site is 4", 6", and 6.5". No five inch 44mag guns, is it a custom shop creation?

It is an older model they don't make anymore.
The one I posted is for sale. A guy from work passed away earlier this year and his widow is selling it. That's her pic.
A blued 5" Model 29 is one of the holy grails of S&W collectors. Very rare and very expensive.
I believe if I remember correctly they were not a cataloged item.
