I own this carry comp. I bobbed the hammer and dropped in a Jerry Miculek trigger spring kit and it is a smoooth, sweet shooting beauty. In a world of 2011’s and polymer wonder guns, I have have found no handgun more fun to shoot than a S&W 929, an 8 shot, N framed revolver with full moon clips. If you can master a double action revolver shot, you’ll be able to shoot everything well.
I have an original blue Model 19 with a 4" barrel. I also have a model 66 (stainless version) with a 2 1/2" barrel. They look as good and fire just as well as they did when I bought them in 1980 and they're still going strong.
