Smith and Wesson 629 Competitor: Performance Center Craftsmanship
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- For me there aren’t many experiences that beat shooting a top shelf highly tuned revolver. This experience ranks right up there with sporting around town in a 1970 Hemi Powered Cuda and laying a little rubber down on the street. Though it has been many years since I have sat behind the wheel of a vintage hotrod, recently I was afforded the opportunity to review one of Smith and Wesson’s latest hotrods the S&W 629 Competitor. Let me tell you this is no standard 629 it is truly one on steroids. Built on the time tested N Frame this Performance Center revolver has been through an overhaul with new innovation like a weighted barrel and the bead blasted finish making it easy on the eyes.

I, too , am a veteran.. U.S. ARMY.. My father (as well as you) was a U.S.M.C...
I enjoy watching your videos.. makes me feel closer to pops..
💯
It's a Weaver mount and it's older than all of us. Picatinny wasn't even a word when that style mount was invented.
That has to be the most badass looking revolver I've ever seen.
The s and w stealth is also a beautiful gun. .44 magnum
Love it! Saw one at my local gunshop a few days ago and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I think I will go pick it up this week!
Beautiful PC piece. Thanks for the look.
One of the best video's for this 629 Smith & Wesson.
I have the 686 Competitor in 357 and I am sure the weights are Tungsten. Looking hard at the 629 as I love my 686. All I could do is like this video but in reality I loved it.
What an absolutely beautiful handgun, err...cannon.
Edit: Great video and shooting BTW.
Beautiful revolver!
Those Keith's really do work. Nice RCBS mold.
Great shooting!
Thank you it was alright I need to get better, I need all 6 shots on that 5.5inch. 😁 Big E thanks for the Keith's brother
I just won one of these beauties, and came across your channel looking at content on this 44... Thanks for serving and thanks for this video. Looking forward to watch more of your vids!!
I love it. Watched this years ago, and just watched it again. I'll be picking mine up in a few days! Will go well with my 629pc Snubbie!
Awesome you won't be disappointed enjoy
@@Dayattherange thank you sir, I do enjoy indeed.
Your accuracy problems probably root with the wide target trigger, especially when shooting from the rest. More practice with the revolver is all you need.
That's an awesome 15 yd free hand group I wish my eyesight was better I used to be able to shoot pretty good with better eyesight as I get older The sites are in focus the targets out of focus 😫 LOL HA HA HA I have such a nice handgun collection I'm jealous of myself !!! I wish I had it when I was younger I used to be able to shoot a pistol like a rifle ... If That makes any sense..
Beautiful revolver and some great shooting. You handle the beast well.
Haha! Those Ford Blue boolits look awesome in the cylinder. I'm gonna have to get me some of those.
Damn good review man. I like how you go into detail about the gun itself. Some people don't know much about what they have or what they're talking about.
Your enthusiasm is jumping thru my screen. SUBBED. beautiful revolver, great info and show
Great job sir and of course Big E you did a great job making those freedom pills
Love this revolver. Best piece I have. Do wish it had the same rail as the 686 competitor. Handles the recoil very well. Best trigger I've ever felt. Changed the grips on mine. Aftermarket front sight is impossible to find.
I want one.... but $1300... I could get that Arsenal AK for that money though
I love the way it looks from a little distance, just wish they would mill the barrel to match the shape of the frame where they meet. It could transition out to its current shape. The way it looks right now, it just seems like it was an afterthought. Either that or beef up the frame at the front to match the barrel.
Great video
My dream gun.
You had me at 629. Something about that .44, just a great cartridge. I also like seeing the mad scientist in his lair cooking up some spicy rounds
She was lively and at times a little saucy.
Great vid, brother!
Its funny how 38s and 357s with a cannelure crimp have such lower spreads. Doesn't mean anything at 7, 10, 15 and maybe 25yds. But my 50yd is where I win my Service match.
Great Video!! That revolver is awesome. Hoping to be able to get one soon so my 69 combat does not feel so lonely LOL
Good job, nice 44
Nice gun and video.
Semper Fi brother! Great video and review!
I would luv to see a review buy you on the s&w 627 pc. You r one of my favorite revolver shooters on u tube. God bless u.
A thing of beauty
Great video. Nice shooting Marine!! 🇺🇸
You had me at freedom pills 👍
Heehheehe Let Freedom Ring
Not to be that guy but, aren’t the weights tungsten, not light weight aluminum, with optional plastic spacers?
this review is gold. The coke got me
Great job.
Fantastic review.
When the very first shot you take gets you a bull's eye, the "performance" aspect becomes quite clear!
Looking good! Like the 44mag, I did find some extreme accuracy with mine using Blue Dot powder under the RCBS 240 grain Silhouette cast gas checked...
Bluedot an old magnum favorite. I always found in my turret press with Lee Powder measure it would not measure to well. But yes I have used bluedot also talk about a flame.
Very informative video thank you...confirmed for me that this is my next piece
Great review! Thank you.
That is sweet! Great video!
Subbed, I'm going through some of your videos and really enjoying them.
Appreciate the encouragement James.
It looks nice
That's pretty good group at 25 yd even even though there's a couple of flyers there I think it's the ammunition.. you should have had some different ammunition.. The pistols a little bit finicky like most high quality pistols..
Nice video. Just found your channel and loved the review. Had to subscribe.
Thank you John
Love this video thanks 😊
So, Max weight is 57.9.......what would be the lightest weight on the revolver if you reconfigured it for minimum weight? Thank You, Sir !!!
Nice nice...he always makes me want to go to the range! Lol
Great Chris and thanks for stopping by. Now get out to the range and keep them on target.
Regardless that's pretty good shooting if you ask me !!! I'm 58 I'm just curious have you had laser eye surgery or anything like that or your eyes that good ???
That's a nice grouping at what distance are you firing it at ??? I'd be lucky to group it at 7 yd like that 😫
You can shoot ! !
I am still learning.
Since you shot both s&w 629 and raging hunter 44mag, which one did you find to be flatter and fun to shoot and which one would you pick up?
Thanks in advance
My choice nothing to do with how they shot honestly but on the warranty. If for whatever reason you find that you need service S&W will send you a prepaid label. Taurus will ask you to ship in your dime. But if you are truly chosing between these exact models I highly doubt you would need warranty they are just that good both of them.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Parabéns, gostei muito do seu vídeo.
me alegro de que te haya gustado el video
Did you figure out why you shot left?
Good vídeo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm guessing you've figured this out since posting this video, but N frame grips and X frame grips are not interchangeable. X frame grips are interchangeable with K and L frame grips. That means X frame grips will not fit on the 629.
Unfortunately sir you are mistaken as this information came directly form S&W, they confirmed for me their website has been wrong for a while and that they would work on N Frame round butt --- and I have done it www.dayattherange.com/?p=2599
Dayattherange the link you sent says that they fit K and L and N frame grips. That’s interesting because if you look at any grip manufacturer’s website, they differentiate between K/L and N frame grips. So some grips will work between all of them, especially rubber ones. Wood grips is where you would really start running into issues. I’m telling you that X frame grips interchange with K/L and this is widely known online. Some N frame grips also work between K/L/X and N frames, but some will not and is still misinformation at the end of the day. Here’s a forum thread where people discuss it. smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1980-present/207220-about-x-n-frame-grip-interchangeability.html
@@granth3w491 I am not talking about wood grips this was about the Hogue Rubber X Frame Grip fitting on an N Frame which it does. In that exact thread a S&W 629 is shown with X Frame hogue grip.
Dayattherange Dayattherange I am aware that some grips interchange. My point is more along your statement in the video that the x frame and n frame “share the exact same profile of grips.” That’s just not true and if someone heard that, they may seek out grips for one or the other that just might not fit. K/L grips 100% interchange with X frame. N frame grips might interchange and they might not. But hey, good vid, I’m sure you know firearms very well, not here to insult or anything.
@@granth3w491 No argument or insult taken. When we stop learning from one another we stop growing as a species. I was very well aware of all the controversy in this topic but I decided to take a stance "because" in mic'ing the grip form factor for some reason the N Frame rear strap seems to be about .9thou thicker than the X frame at least in my 2 revolvers in which I performed the testing. With this difference wood grips would have a little ledge. I have never jumped into those conversation because like most anything the manufacturer of the grip could be different in the specs they used.
Great channel! Subbed!
Welcome thank you for the support. We have a great friendly community here.
Do you find that with that heavy barrel the recoil is substantially less? I hear that with all the weight up front it really doesn't make that much difference? Would love to know your experience?
No because it's not supposed to reduce recall. All heavier barrels reduce muzzle raise not recall
Do they still produce this Gun?
There are a few of them out there but unfortunately S&W took this product off their website a few months back.
Is this new in the market,,how much is the price
Around 1500 retail
The marine corps hat (s/f) + know your shit...subscribe! Gladly!
Hey, Wally, the weights are steel not aluminium.
Not sure who Wally is but I guess you are talking about the weights -- and you would be correct.
@@Dayattherange It's Australian slang it's a term given to someone who makes a mistake, no offence meant. I own one and love it however I did send the first one back as the barrel was not square to the frame. Try it with an aimpoint you will like it even more.
@@johnswinkels4383 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Tacticool Mustache We are not allowed semi-auto unless its a handgun with no more than 10 rounds for target shooting only. And anything higher than a 38 requires a special licence for silhouette only or some cowboy matches. There really strict but we can have most things.
Now they can sell you some proprietary rings and mounts. 🤨
Beautiful piece but... a Hillary hole on a competition gun?
Easy enough to plug but sure I would run it in competition in 15 years I have never had a single issue with the lock.
@@Dayattherange That may be so, but it rubs me the wrong way, and the pointlessness of it on a competition gun just adds to it.
@@mountainhobo Oh I understand totally. There are many that feel the same way I obviously have a different outlook. I refuse to let anyone have that kind of power over me to miss out on something I really enjoy. If it were proven to be dangerous that's different. I do understand your point of view.
You need permission from the wife to have a coke???
Steal weights
Great video
