Smith & Wesson built this Model 629-1 in 1982, a stainless steel N-frame revolver in .44 Magnum with a 6-inch barrel. It wears a combat hammer and combat trigger, walnut grips and a Leupold M8-2X scope mounted on top. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The metal carries light marks, and the supplier rates the overall condition as very good. Serial number N897269.

With a scope and a 6-inch barrel this is a hunting and range revolver rather than a carry piece, and a Texas buyer can treat it that way. Buying a handgun here means photo identification, ATF Form 4473 and the federal NICS check at the dealer, and a current Texas License to Carry can stand in for that check. There is no state permit, no registration and no waiting period, so once the dealer clears the transfer the revolver goes home with you. The federal age floor for a handgun is 21.
