[Marshal Halloway]

Get ready for a new season. Our first episode is about the S&W Model 29.

DVR is programmed and ready.

I'll try to squeeze it in between Glades and Warehouse 13, this summer.

Just watched in on the DVR.  Now I really want a Model 29.

Loved the story about Elmer Keith and the seagull.

Good story.   Enjoyed the episode.

I especially enjoyed all the slo-mo shots of the 29 being fired.   The muzzle rise was very minimal.  Of course those were mostly the 8-3/8" barrel models.  My .44's  have full length under lugs and un-fluted cylinders so they "absorb" recoil pretty well too.

Only wished the episode touched on some of the variants, especially on the 629 (my favorite).   I went through the NRA Distinguished Expert course of fire with a 6" 629.

I just figured they were shooting a lot of .44 specials.

We did shoot a lot of Specials from Col. Cooper's .44, but we threw in some 240-gr JHP Magnums as well!

Glad you guys liked it!

Excellent show!  I'm fortunate enough to have my grandfathers 29 from 1957.  They sure don't make them like that anymore!

Joe is a consumate professional. Seems like a truly nice person.
