info needed about S&W 629-2
« on: May 12, 2014, 08:15:04 AM »
I had a guy offer his SW 629-2 6 inch as partial trade on something.
I don't know a thing about this gun, what do you know? What are they worth?

Best way to get reliable info on current national gun values and prices is to use Advanced [Search]/Completed Items on Gunbroker.com.

[Some use Fjedstad's Blue Book.   But Fjedstad's is just a shot in the dark compared to the real national market for actual sales on Gunbroker.com.]

Anyhow, on the first page of 50 closed items, these prices were found for recent S&W 629 actual sales:

$635   (Dropped and damaged firearm)
$769
$800
$875

$1249  (Weighted barrel and other extras)

All the other listings either closed out w/no bids at all (most), did not meet seller's reserve price, or were otherwise withdrawn.

My guess on appropriate trade value for an S&W 629-2 would be in the $800-$1000 range, depending on condition, accessories, extras, etc.

You can go to Gunbroker.com, login  (gotta log in), and check the completed listings for yourself.

Informative.

BTW:   That Sucker will Rattle Your Teeth.   (And be hard to carry concealed.)

what? I was going to appendix carry this gun... ;D

I'm conflicted, I want a 44 mag because, well its a 44 mag, but it would be a waste to have a gun I wouldn't shoot much. I'm getting rid of what I'm getting rid of because it costs too much for me to shoot a lot.
please skip the "start reloading" speech that normally goes here.

Maybe a PantLeg Holster for that Marlin 338MX would allow you to carry a gun you already have (and love) with about the same carry weight.

And Lesser Recoil.
