S&W 329

[Nobade]

I've been playing with my new 329PD for a couple of months now, and must say I like it! I've been feeding it 240gr. loads at 900 fps, and 200gr. at 1000 fps, with everything from Titegroup to Unique. So far it hasn't loosened up at all and will chew out a ragged hole at 25 yards from the bench. It's so light it really takes concentration to shoot offhand, but results are improving with practice. I just wish they put normal sights on the thing instead of that huge red glowing dot. Anybody else got one? What do ya think of it?

I bought a barely used one a few weeks ago. Love it so far! Great to carry. It came with a set of the 500 mag grips and they'r great for plinking,but kind of bulky.In SA I'm doing as well as with my 7 1/2 in Blackhawk,but need some practice in DA mode. :oops:  I agree on the sights. They'r ugly and in fairly dim light, pretty much useless. :roll:  I'd like to replace them with tritium. I'v been meaning to check with XS,they make a pinned frt and adj rear for the 629s in the 24/7 tritium. Not sure if it'll work with the 329. I'v got a Milt Sparks crossdraw ordered and picked up one of the Bianchi Cyclones on sale at Midway for $25 off.  Not bad for that price. I discovered that a gum type pencil eraser will remove the carbon from the cylinder face and outside and not mess with the titaniums protective layer. All in all a great gun.

Love mine - also bought a 325pd. I like the sights - just took the corners off the rear sights.
