Compatibility:

Designed for Smith & Wesson N Frame Model 29-2 revolvers chambered in .44 Magnum. Side plate screws typically interchange across N Frame models of the same era, though thread pitch and length should be verified for proper fit.

Installation Notes:

Professional gunsmith installation recommended. While side plate screws are externally accessible, proper installation requires careful torque to avoid stripping threads or damaging the frame. Over-tightening can cause frame distortion; under-tightening can allow the side plate to loosen. The screws should be tightened in the correct sequence to ensure even pressure distribution. Some fitting may be necessary to ensure proper thread engagement.
