Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Type: Revolver Model: 29-3 Caliber: .44 Magnum Barrel Length: 6" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3333 Serial Number (S/N): ACP1562 Reference Number (Ref #): P23025219 Notes: This revolver is a Smith & Wesson Model 29-3 double-action revolver chambered in .44 Magnum. The Model 29 was introduced in 1955 and became one of Smith & Wesson’s most recognizable N-frame revolvers, designed to handle full-power .44 Magnum ammunition. The “-3” engineering change reflects internal manufacturing revisions made during later production of the model. Production year range: Smith & Wesson Model 29-3 revolvers were produced during the early to mid-1980s. Smith & Wesson serial numbers from this period do not always allow precise year determination without factory letter documentation. Serial number 468185 cannot be conclusively tied to a specific calendar year and is placed within the Model 29-3 production period. The revolver is fitted with a 6-inch blued barrel and constructed with a blued carbon steel frame and six-shot fluted cylinder. Sighting equipment consists of an adjustable target rear sight paired with a red ramp front sight. The revolver operates in both double-action and single-action modes and is fitted with aftermarket rubber grips. Chambered in .44 Magnum, typical factory loads using 240-grain bullets generally produce muzzle velocities in the range of approximately 1,300 to 1,350 feet per second from a barrel of this length, with energy output around 900 foot-pounds, depending on ammunition selection. Condition is excellent. The blued finish remains deep with minimal edge wear and only faint cylinder turn lines. The bore appears bright with sharp rifling. Timing and lockup are tight, and both single-action and double-action trigger pulls operate smoothly.
