1979 was a very good year. Smith and Wesson introduced the Model 629. :mrgreen:
Here is a company that created the Triple Lock 72 years earlier, and kept pace with the 21st. century by making a great thing even greater.
Whenever I hold an N frame of any type, I can easily be reminded of the rich and powerful history behind these revolvers. But I digress.
The purpose of this thread is to discuss all Stainless versions of the N frame.
Technically it's called the G Frame. That is Smith and Wessons designation for them.
.This is found at the bottom of page 170 in the scSW 3.
I can count 6 models of G frames , in numerical order they are: 610 ,624 ,625 ,627 ,629 ,657 .
Chronologically, by year of introduction they are as follows :
629_1980
624_1985
657_1986
625_1989
610_1989
627_1989
I would like to create in this original post, some pertinent facts and data lists pertaining to
any Stainless Ns'.
So any info you have to share, either post it, or e-mail me and I will gladly make note of it here. Kind of an index for the thread ,if it takes off.
I would like your pictures, your stories, when you first held one. And when you first bought one. How much they were back when, and what they're going for today.
Hunting stories. Info on the earliest models. Serial numbers and shipping dates if you will, so that others might estimate when theirs was shipped.
Thank you for your time ,
Good luck and God bless ,Allen F.
