Hello all,
I haven't bought anything new in a while, and I have been itching after both of these guns since I was young. I think it might be time to get one (or both) depending on what I can find.
My question is, which versions of each should I get?
The Model 29 as I understand it had at least 8 variants (29-2, 29-3, etc). I am looking for a blued 6.5 inch model. However, none of my guns are safe queens, and I will be shooting this. I'm not going to be shooting 2k full power .44 mag per year or anything...maybe 200 year and a couple hundred .44 specials a year. So, because it won't be a safe queen, durability is important, and if one of the variants is more durable and longer lasting than others, I would prefer one of those.
As for the PPK, it needs to be pre-S&W and blued. I hate the S&W beavertail, and I don't believe they produce blued ones anyway. I suppose it can be either .32 or .380, but I would prefer .32. Any suggestions on which era, country, or particular version I should be looking for? This will also be shot, maybe 200 rounds per year.
Thanks all!
