Re: New Revolver
Excellent revolver. I've had several short barrel 629 Smiths and all were more accurate than they needed to be for short range work.

Re: New Revolver
For mild 44 Mag. 9 gr. Unique with a 240 gr. cast bullet is a good place to start for revolvers.

Re: New Revolver
Is it the larger frame that makes these short barreled revolvers fairly accurate? I have a Charter Arms Undercover and I'm very inaccurate with it. It does have a pretty small grip so maybe it's just me, I was terrible with my XDS also, I'm a decent shot with my Berettas.

Re: New Revolver
Larger frame equals more weight to help reduce recoil plus the larger grip adds to control. Trigger pull plays a big part in shot accuracy too and the Smiths have very good SA and DA triggers. I swapped on the S&W 500 grips which have more cushion and give a great grip.

Re: New Revolver
Got the Smith this afternoon and it's sitting in a new DeSantis thumb break holster on my belt!
