Hunters who went after deer and hogs with a handgun owned a lot of these. The 629-6 is a stainless steel N-frame revolver in .44 Magnum, and this one has a 5 inch barrel and comes with the factory box.

The 629 became a legend because it was heavy enough to tame a powerful cartridge. The .44 Magnum is a serious round for hunting and for protection against large animals in the field. It also fires .44 Special, which is much easier on the hand and a good choice for practice and for new shooters. Start with mild loads and work up, so you learn the gun before you learn its limits.

Stainless steel resists rust and weather, so the revolver suits the woods and the truck as well as the safe. A used example should be checked for cylinder timing, forcing cone wear and bore condition.

Keep realistic expectations about recoil. A 5 inch barrel gives a good mix of control and portability. The revolver is sold used and as described. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is run there.
