I have had no problems loading max loads (using Win. 296 or H110 powders) for my 629. Been shooting it going on 15 years, and I still have both hands.

Well, since we're showing our 44 mag revolvers....
She shoots to point of aim with 240 grain ammo. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Next in line is a model 29 classic, but Mrs. 49 doesn't know it yet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

49 shooter. What length barrel is that on your 629? The one I bought has a 6.5" barrel.
That's what mine is.
It looks like a longer barrel in the picture for some reason.
Smith also offers a 5 incher which looks pretty good...

How come the 44 mag is a "super blackhawk" while the 41 mag is only in the "blackhawk"? Whats the difference?
I have a Ruger "new model blackhawk" in 41 mag w/6.5" bbl and I have read quite a few good things on the pistol and caliber. The Rugers seem to be very strong and will hold up better to hot loads. I"m still trying to work on getting mine to group consistently, but it will usually put 4-5shots in about 2-3" off a sandbag at 25 yards. I actually plan on putting a 4x scope on it in the near future and shooting it out to 100-150 yards.
I got mine for plinking, coyotes, and the occasional deer and black bear. I figure 210g at 1400fps should be almost as good as the 240g from a 44 mag.
Does anyone know if the grips for the super blackhawk are interchangable for the regular blackhawk?? I dont see any grips specifically labeled for a new model blackhawk, but there is tons for the super blackhawk. I'm just looking for a set of rubber replacements for my new model blackhawk. The hard polymer ones have got to go.

Good looking shooters fellas. I have a 6.5" barrel S&W 29-2 and my favorite of all is my S&W 629-3 Mountain Gun 4" .44.
kyotekiller25, my Ruger Blackhawk in .41 Mag wore a set of Hogue Rubber Grips, I think mine were for a blackhawk/super blackhawk, not sure though. Made a world of difference though. The ones I had are still hanging in the gun shop I traded my .41 at.

kyk25: Some of the grips are different, but I believe that you can interchange grip frames, and therefore, grips amongst most of the Ruger single actions if you wish. Check out Brownells on that - you can see which grip frames fit which gun frames.
See if this pix works - differences in Ruger single action grip frames:
If not, here's the article from gunblast.com - I think someone just posted this link here the other day for someone:
http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger_Bisley_Hunter.htm
I'm thinking of getting a Bisley grip frame for my SBH as everyone brags up how it changes the felt recoil to something much more pleasant and controllable. The Hogue grips are more pleasant than the factory's in my opinion with stout loads. I do really like those Hunter's [beeep] with the solid rib and scope mounts - maybe reason to spend some $$'s I haven't yet?!?!? LOL!! The weight probably helps with the recoil too.

If I could own only one big game hunting revolver, the above would probably be it, as it cannot be beat for sheer strength, versatility, and durability. It would, however be chambered in 45 Colt, not 44 mag. The Bisley configuration is where it's at, IMO. That said, I went with 2 separate big game revolvers.........
The big hurt (480 SRH):
45 Colt Bisley Blackhawk:
The 480 is stock save for the Hogue grip that did not come on it. The 45 Colt has tuned action/trigger, lighter springs, Belt Mtn. Keith-style lockable base pin, one ragged hole sights, and grafted pitacchio grips........

I had a stainless super blackhawk with 7.5 inch barrel for several years. Would not shoot for c*&p. Son in law had one too. Same crappy shooting.
OTOH, he has a .45 LC blackhawk that shoots great mild or hot with any bullet we load in it.
