He sure will and any decent .357 is good to hold onto. Is your Model 29 new (recently manufactured) or an older model? It looks new.
It is an S prefix serial number , from 1967-68 . I credit the fact I only carry it in good leather , which like the gun I keep CLEAN , and carefully stored . I shoot it , just occasionally now days, mostly when someone who has never fired a .44 mag wants to go out try it . They talk like Inspector Callahan for the rest of the day . The most fun in shooting is sharing . They haven't made a gun that is too good for my family and friends to shoot .
