Revolver S&W Smith & Wesson 629-4 .44 Magnum 6.5" with Docter Optics used

Hello! I am selling my well-preserved used revolver S&W Smith & Wesson 629-4  .44 Magnum 6.5" with Docter Optics red dot due to inventory reduction.According to the importer AKAH, it was shot in Germany in 1995 and thus belongs to the most popular manufacturing period of the mid-90s.Timing and cylinder play are still perfect. Barrel is bright, lands and grooves are sharp. No rust anywhere, not even under the grip.Rubber gripWhy the model 629-4 is so sought after (created with AI):The fourth generation combines the best of both worlds: it has all the modern mechanical reinforcements for hard .44 Magnum loads, while at the same time avoiding the unpopular cost-cutting measures and safety features of later years.The "Endurance Package": Older generations (like the base model or some -1 and -2) tended to have the cylinder unintentionally unlock under the extreme recoil during prolonged use of hard cast and factory loads. The model 629-4 features fully developed, hardened, and enlarged internal locks and pins. It is extremely robust and can handle strong loads without complaint.No internal frame lock (Pre-Lock): The model 629-4 has no keyhole above the cylinder release. Many shooters are bothered by the appearance and the theoretical risk that the lock could engage during firing in newer models (from -6 onwards).Classic firing pin: The firing pin in the -4 series is still traditionally on the hammer and not in the frame, which contributes to the traditional S&W feel when cocking.Trigger and hammer/firing pin are cold-hammered and not made from MIM like in later productions.It shoots very accurately, both with target loads and with hunting maximum loads.With the underlug under the 6.5 inch barrel, it sits stable during firing. A 4" barrel hits significantly higher with hunting loads.A red dot is mounted, which has proven itself well in hunting situations with poor daylight in the underbrush.The rear sight has been removed and is missing.The revolver shows the usual signs of use, such as light scratches on the stainless steel surface.Technically absolutely fine. Fires full power loads without complaint.The button for ejecting the cylinder is "loose". This is apparently common in all S&W models. A hunting friend has fixed it with Loctite, but it must be removed again for disassembly. Therefore, I have left it original. The screw does not fall out!Weight approx. 1300g with red dot The holster and fur are not included in the sale and are for demonstration purposes only. Pickup or shipping via a certified shipper.
