Yes, the new ones made now are just as accurate as the old ones. Were it not for that GD trigger lock, the used ones would be 1/3 less cheaper, IMO........

My 4" shoots like a laser, given all I have ever shot with it is steel at distance

Maybe, but people would still pay a premium for forged parts over MIM. ETA: This post is not meant to start a pissing match over MIM vs forged parts. I realize MIM parts are likely perfectly adequate for the job, but I'd still take an older forged parts gun. |

The older ones are better if you plan on shooting cast lead bullets.

My 629 4" is about 7 years old and I won't let anyone mess with it's trigger. Of all my handguns bar none, it has the best break of any of them and most have wonderful pulls. A few people that I've let try it with custom or pro shop versions wanted to know who worked it and they all were shocked when I said it was straight factory. Who knows, maybe one of the old time smiths was bored one day and decided to work the line but it is a work of art. Can't speak of the more recent ones.
Peace. T. |

Why are the older ones better for cast lead bullets?

Older ones had button rifled barrels (pre 2000 or so).

My "modern" 629 is extremely accurate, although it is a PC gun with a sweet action and trigger.
