Bling Boomer
« on: November 25, 2011, 06:21:11 PM »
I bought this S&W 629 before I went on vacation and sent it out to be polished, I think it turned out great.
I almost didn't want to shoot it but put ten rounds through it this afternoon, the nice thing is with the polished finish it just wipes clean with a soft cloth. ;D

         What a great looking wheel gun! Are those factory grips? Quite a while back I had one just like that except mine was the model 29 in blue, and it sure as hell was'nt that pretty. Congrats John...    Gene

Looks like a "barbeque gun" to me!  Beautiful piece anyone would be proud to carry.

Gene yes they are the factory grips but this was a Talo limited edition gun, they don't look as red when looking at them in person.

That's a sharp looking Smith.  Can you tell us where it was sent to?

Thank you very much.  I have a 686 that would look pretty nice with a facelift and some new grips.
