I have an older model 29 made back in about 1970 with the recessed cylinder and target sights and 8 3/8" barrel. It came in a display case which I still have also plus all the original paperwork. The revolver is still in perfect condition and I have fired thousands of rounds through it. The trigger is very light in single action mode (made before all the liability suits) and its accurate as all get out with 240 gr Hornady XTPs and WW 296 powder.
