I sold mine. The 29" barrel adds weight that makes the gun heavier and much more forward-balanced. The 26" barrel probably balances better and would be a bit faster handling.

Try to get one with a good trigger from the get-go, else you'll find no easy way to correct a bad one.

If you find one with a screw just below the hammer on the side of the action, it will be of more recent manufacture and incorporates some improvements. The older ones only had pins on the action sides. Now if I only knew what that screw is for.

You should at least look at a Huntsman as an alternative.
