I have a 29 and a 629. Just awesome and I love 44 mag. I imagine the compensator makes a huge difference getting the sights back on target but have no first hand experience with it.
The 44 mag is still controllable and hits like a sledge hammer. Get a rifle chambered in the same caliber and you have a whole bunch of awesome.

Off the top of my head, I think they are something like $1400-$1500. Performance center stuff isn't cheap. The barrel has a series of adjustable weights that you can swap out. The bad news, is that I don't think they are on "The List".
Ouch and how long before I get the "if you really want it, you'll find a way. Wink" post lol.
But seriously, I would love to get one. List or no list

Well that's implied, duh! This is NES after all!
I just spent 12 hours making revolvers, and you keep me up with work questions? You're mean! j/k

Smith lists it as MA compliant if you search by state complaint on their site. Furthermore, Four seasons was pitching this a month ago in an email blast, however they left the price off and just said come check it out. List is $1550, looks like street price is about 1350 judging by gunbroker.
Its on my list - not sure when though...
UPDATE:
Actually, FS had the 686 Competitor, not the 629. However they are both MA OK.

Thank you very much! MA OK is great news.
I'm guessing Gunbroker is the cheapest way to go unless I find a nice used one here.
Still debating if I want to pursue the "629 6"Performance Model".
Not too familiar with .44 Mag.
Mainly shoot 9mm, 40, 45 and 357SIG occasionally.
Would you happen to remember the price?
I have one that I bought a long time back.
Very nice!!
Can I ask how much did it cost?
I bet lol. Good to know they had it.

Bought it about 15 yrs ago at Kittery, don't recall for how much... whatever I paid, its worth every penny.
They didn't make much of the pre-lock unfluted versions, want to say less than 200.

Its from us.nill-shop.com
They are a little on the high side for price, but fit like a glove and the wood is beautiful.

Just found the info on my handgun incase anyone was wondering.
It's a Lew Horton hunter competitor 629-5, bought it in 1999 for $989 ... apparently they only made 200 of them. All the new ones have the Hillery hole.![[puke2]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/031.gif "Puke2 [puke2]")

FS in woburn got a new 686 competitor, but not sure if someone scope it up already. Call before you head in.
Collector in Stoneham also got a new 686 competitor. I'm guessing they also have a 629 competitor too? Also call first.
Price is around $1300.
