A 29 Lew Horton has got my attention. I don't really have a need for it, but it sure is a nice looking gun.

I carried a S&W 329PD from April 2011 until around Feb. 2018 when I started carrying my S&W Scandium framed SW1911SC .45 ACP.

 I LARP as a boomer, once in a while. I don’t know if I meet your frame requirements, but oh well. Actually, that’s my nostalgia piece- it was my mom’s concealed carry pistol for years- she bought it from a friend that was a retired cop who carried it for years… I carry it once in a while just because it makes me happy. |

I have multiple .44's... both S&W and Ruger. .44 is my grail caliber. I carry a 629 when hunting and at camp usually. Also when hiking or riding. In reality if I'm in the woods, some .44 is with me.

My only N frame is a model 28 4”. It has had a pampered life before me as a sock drawer gun and mostly continued as such. I wear the L frame around.

A friend had a limited run 2 1/2 or 3" M29 with an unfluted cylinder and round butt. It was the nicest shooting N frame I ever touched. It loved 210 gr Silvertips. I could easily hit a 12ga empty at the end of our 50 ft range. My eyes worked back then.
Prior to the semiauto era I carried a S&W M25-5 4" nickel in .45 Colt. Great gun, shot very well. |

I have an affinity for my model 57 when tromping through the woods, what's not to love about a .41 magnum on your belt? I shoot it a lot more accurately than my model 29.

I just got that exact gun from a former co-worker hard up for cash. Got it stupid cheap, and I gave him more than he asked for. Haven't carried it yet, but plan to since he gave me an S&W holster with it. They're heavy, but sweet shooters with the right loads. I'd say go for it. Even if you end up not carrying the thing, it makes a hell of a nightstand gun.

I bought an 8 inch barrel model 29-2. I have carried it to barbecues, lol.
I'm hoping to get a 4 inch next, which will potentially be a carry gun for situations where im more concerned with four legged predators than two legged ones. |

I'll carry a 627 5" or 629 Mountain Revolver (4") in the woods. I used to have a 629 5" full lug, but that's a lot for a hiking gun. I don't think I've ever carried them around town. And for the same reason I wouldn't carry a 29 Lew Horton Special...if I had to use it in a two-legged defensive encounter, it's as good as gone for life. I'd much rather lose a plastic fantastic or new production J frame than one of my older, hard to replace Smiths.

Occasionally I’ll carry my Model 24-3 or my Model 28-2. Both guns are 4”.
Those guns are actually pretty comfortable to carry in a El Paso Saddlery Steeet Combat pancake holster. The holster rides high on the belt and keeps the grip close to the body. |

I was helping a FFL friend clean and inspect a slew of estate guns prior to shipment. One of the was a Colt New Service in .45 Colt. That was an impressively large pistol but not all that heavy. All the old Colts in the collection even with the bluing worn off had perfectlly tight cylinder locking. Pretty impressive as they were circa 100 years old.

Question for tinythief and 03RN, what model of holster from JM are those? I like the wing on tinythief’s holster but prefer the single attachment point of 03RN’s holster. I’m looking to get a aiwb for my 627 PC.
Also 03RN, think that safariland speedloader holder would hold a 8 round 357 moon clip in similar fashion? |

I would think so since the 8rd moonclips need to fit in a N frame cylinder. |

When I carry it, it’s at 3 o’clock IWB. Easy to do, and it’s so light, it’s hardly noticeable. It’s not that big even though it’s an N frame. Fun to shoot.
