missed it by that much Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 As the title says. Just bought a 4 inch M29 Smith and Wesson in 44 mag. Has a screw in front of the trigger guard below the chin. Just wondering about the function of this screw. I've got lots of Smith and wesson revolvers Just never seen this screw before.

21 shooter Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Interesting, I don’t remember seeing one like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 That screw holds in a spring and plunger that operates the cylinder stop. In later models they just put the spring inside the sideplate without a plunger. That gun is probably from the late 50s to sometime in the 60s.

It'd in great shape and got it for 700 hundred dollars. Couldn't resist. Got to load up some ammo and shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
