Damn, that 929 is hot! I can't even guess how much a conversion like that must cost. Probably about as much as the base gun.

View Quote That was actually my plan for it (hiking/outdoor gun) to replace a 642 that I normally use for that purpose but for whatever reasons I've stuck with the 642; part of it is the 642 fits in the old camera bag on my backpack belt but I guess I'm just used to the 642. I do like it though and I carry it on occasion. It is definitely harder to find holsters for 3" J frames though. I'd really like to find a J frame in .32H&R (or .327) with a 3". |
