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 did not know you could buy a Jerry spring kit,I’m gonna have to research this for my 357 magnum with 6” stainless barrel pre lock days. Thanks for the tidbit!
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.
@@darrendyson8347 The smaller version is the stainless version of the model 19. It's called a model 66. I don't remember if S&W made a model 19 with a 2 1/2" barrel. You have to take into consideration that I bought both of these guns in 1980 and am not aware if S&W was making both version with the smaller barrel. I have recently seen the same stainless version, the model 66, used, at a gun show. The vendor was asking $1450.00 for the gun. I paid $250.00 for it in 1980. What an investment I made.
You don’t need to see it in slow motion. You can see all this just fine when you’re shooting it! Better yet,you can smell the powder and feel the kick!
My last two new revolvers both went back for only having partial rifling. Customer service rep explained they no longer cut the rifling. It’s now done with acid. Sometimes it doesn’t work correctly and you get partial rifling. But the good news is S&W have quality control inspectors. Every gun gets looked over and test fired so problems like this never happen…..oh wait….
