NPOV

What a way to start a talk page. Okay, the "beautiful art deco styling" part a short ways down. Is there any evidence of such? Pictures, either? --AK-17 21:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images?

Anybody? This article has been up for a good while, and the only thing it's really missing is a decent image of the weapon in question. Gamer Junkie 04:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

The merge tag has been on for a couple weeks, but there is no discussion. All good I suppose if nobody has objections. Affirmative responses not necessarily required. I personally, after having reviewed both articles, favor merging. The 629 article has pretty much nil for content. Soooo... I'll merge the 629 article into this on on Feb. 18th if no objections appear by then. -Thernlund ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 19:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... already done. <shrug> —Thernlund ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 02:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Visually Identical" my shiny white ass.

For starters, the barrel is completely different, and the grip is Hogue rubber instead of the wooden one they had for years.

How do I add images? I want to set this guy straight.

If you have a good picture of a 29, please upload it and place it in the article. You can upload images using the upload link to the left. Be sure to cite a proper license or the image will be deleted pretty quick. —Thernlund ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 19:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I have uploaded and attempted to place a picture of two Model 29.2s. I am unable to use the system to place the pictures in the article but I did put the address in the body of the article. If anyone is interested, it is there.

.44 Special

The .44 magnum is NOT longer to accomodate more powder. The sole reason for the extra length is to prevent users from accidentally loading magnum cartridges into weapons not designed to handle the increased pressures. The earliest handloaded .44 magnum rounds used extra powder packed into the .44 special casing. 24.252.195.3 (talk) 05:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
