Thanks guys, sounds like I need to keep my eyes peeled for a 19 or 27 before 10/1. Luckily I have a decent FFL who is good about releasing. Though i wouldnt turn down a 25 as I have .45 ACP down to a science.
I just cant resist the case hardened hammer of the vintage S&Ws!

Now 29s are .44 etc right? I am probably looking more towards a lighter frame gun. I know my Dan Wesson 44 is hefty and my hands are small, I like shooting it but not my favorite by handling.
Didn't read the whole thread, but for me, it's hard to go wrong with any classic S&W revolver, blued or stainless. Take your pick
Model 27
Model 28 (not quite as nice as the 27, but the Highway Patrolman is functionally the same gun)
Model 19
Model 25 (.45 Long Colt on the N frame)
Model 29
That's where I'd start. Currently I only have a pre-29 and a Model 18 - the K frame .22 LR S&W. I had an 8 and 3/8 barrel model 27 but I sold it to garner funds for my H&K USP 45. Gotta love a good S&W revolver.

There is the S&W Mountain Gun - light weight Nframe and barrel. Good fir light and moderate loads, can be brutal with full house magnums. Like a Jframe 357 with heavy 125 grain loads.
The heavy underlug 29's handles well, just a little weight out front when in 5"-6.5" form. Especially in DA mode. It is not as fast in multiple target transistions (though still very good) as a medium frame 357 but well worth a look. Along with the 4" M63, those are my favorite S&W revolvers (underlug 29's).

Yes, It is a 44 magnum. Think Dirty Harry, the most powerful handgun in the world. At least at that time. It is really pretty tame. The size helps handle the recoil.
