Great gun, I love mine. I think they called them the "Classic Hunter." Its a Model 29-3. Came with Hogue finger groove grips with S&W emblem. I changed to those in the photo as the finger groove grips don't fit my hand.
That's a beautiful piece, and exactly what I'm looking for. How much
I guess I'll keep perusing GB until I find one.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ubelongoutside,

Those 29-5 pistols are absolutely gourgeus. I had no idea Smith even made one and now I want one.
Laughing in the face of danger is all well and good until danger laughs back.

To the OP, something to keep in mind. If you actually got in a tussle with a bear, the wheel guns posted here all sport full target hammers and triggers. S&W does have wheel guns with wide, smooth triggers, more condusive to fast DA fire, which would be your better option if you had to go head on with a bruin. Something to consider.
