Ive been lusting over the 629 Performance Center with the 2"(1-5/8's really I think it is) barrel with the non fluted cylinder. That gun is just sexy. Although I dont think I would ever shoot hot loads out of due to the short ass barrel. But like you said 44mag is a wonderful caliber to reload. 240g cast lead can do anything from some light trailboss loads that are fun at the range up to some H110 or Lil Gun full house loads.

rjacobs,
The longer barreled models shoot extremely well with the heavy magnum loads. I have no experience with a 2 inch barrel, but I can imagine it would be a bit of a handful.

Nice PIC. "Hk" That's a nice handy protector you got there.(Mountain)....... I'd love to get one in the unbeatable .41 mag. (but a .44 would do.)

Ive got a 6" 29-2 from 1976 that is in cherry condition so I dont shoot it much and when I do it gets pretty light trail boss loads through it(I think 6g under a 200 SWC).
That is the main reason I want a new one so I can shoot it and not worry about dinging it up to much or anything. Cabela's had some of those mountain guns when I was there the other day, but I couldnt part with 900 bucks for one when I think I can order them for like 700 or so.

I had thought about buying one of those to replace my 25 year old Model 60. What kind of holster are you using for concealed carry?

I have it, it's a 2.625" barrel and yes, it's a hand full!

You will find your Mountain Gun to be very entertaining with full power loads.
Mines a laugh a minute...

When I was shooting bowling pins, I used a cast 300gr bullet over 6.0gr WW231. Almost no recoil to speak of in my Redhawk and it really whacked the pins. As this is a fairly light load, do not use a jacketed bullet because of the off chance of having a core/jacket separation in the barrel.
