This simple but essential component must operate smoothly and reliably for proper revolver function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Model 29:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Smith \u0026amp; Wesson Model 29, introduced in 1955, is one of the most iconic revolvers ever produced.
