Here's me loading the revolver that started it all, the 1836 Colt Paterson. One has to disassemble the gun in order to load it. The cylinder will hold about 22 gr of black powder and it's comparable to firing a .38 S&W round. Love this gun due to the history it holds and if it wasn't for the Paterson, Colt would not exist. In fact, Sam Colt went bankrupt during this time because these guns were handmade and cost too much to build. Plus Colt wasn't much of businessman. He resurfaced in 1847 when the Texas Rangers commissioned him to built the Walker revolver after they had some success with the Paterson. Of course, this is a replica as the originals are worth a fortune.

Wow, that is very cool.

Already posted pics of the gun, but was compelled to put up some photos with it's new gun leather, an Aker J2 Strapless.

Picked this up today, not sure if I will keep it. My "On Deck" gun was .357 in Ruger or Smith but I ran across this and I pulled the trigger so to speak.

I am still in my learning process on S&W revolvers. I know this is a 629-1 6", mid-lug, N-frame, pre-lock. Not sure when it was made, guessing in mid-80's.

SN# AESXXXX. More info would be much appreciated.

I would be happy to help. The best I can gather, your 629 was made in mid 1984. This was after S&W had done away with the barrel retention pin and the recessed cylinder. Nice!

Mr357Sig, the shrouded J frame is among my two favorite S&Ws. Can't quite tell from the pic but is it a model 38 or 49?
