I just picked up a S&W model 29-3 nickel 4 inch barrel in about 85-90% condition has been used but not abused.. Factory wood grip.. I tried researching it and read sonething about screws but couldn't figure all that mess out.

My buddy said sonething about it being a combat model or sonething like that:.

Anyways all help is much appreciated.. Not really looking to sell at the moment just looking for a value..

Thanks THF

You can check Gunbroker. I had been shopping for one. Most go for $650-$850. Some guys are asking $1000+ but I dont think they are selling.

The -3 came out in the early 80's, maybe 1982. This is the start of dropping features like pinned barrels. I've shot a few and what I noticed most is finish. No one mass produces a finish like Smith and Colt did, which is why those old guns in 95% bring the prices they do.
To answer your question, in an honest 90% I'd go as high as $750. Enjoy it and don't worry about it. It's yours and that is what matters.

Not a collectable 5 or 4 screw ,but S&W don't make no junk revolvers. Like Kidd said its yours enjoy ownership and Shoot it...

Thanks for the info guys and yeah I'm definately ready to shoot it.. I've owned many 357 magnums but this is my first 44 mag.. I'm ready to see what it'll do to a pig!!

44 mag in a 4" barrel? How's the flip on that thing?

Not bad shoots great!! Really love this gun!! Thank guys for the help!!
