29-2
February 29, also known as leap day or leap year day, is a date added to most years that are divisible by 4, such as 2016, 2020, and 2024. A leap day is added in various solar calendars (calendars based on the Earth's revolution around the Sun), including the Gregorian calendar standard in most of the world. Lunisolar calendars (whose months are based on the phases of the Moon) instead add a leap or intercalary month.In the Gregorian calendar, years that are divisible by 100, but not by 400, do not contain a leap day. Thus, 1700, 1800, and 1900 did not contain a leap day; neither will 2100, 2200, and 2300. Conversely, 1600 and 2000 did and 2400 will. Years containing a leap day are called leap years. Years not containing a leap day are called common years. In a leap year, February 29 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar, with 306 days remaining until the end of the year. In the Chinese calendar, this day will only occur in years of the monkey, dragon, and rat.
A leap day is observed because the Earth's period of orbital revolution around the Sun takes approximately six hours longer than 365 whole days. A leap day compensates for this lag, realigning the calendar with the Earth's position in the Solar System; otherwise, seasons would occur later than intended in the calendar year. The Julian calendar used in Christendom until the 16th century added a leap day every four years; but this rule adds too many days (roughly three every 400 years), making the equinoxes and solstices shift gradually to earlier dates. By the 16th century the vernal equinox had drifted to March 11, so the Gregorian calendar was introduced both to shift it back by omitting several days, and to reduce the number of leap years via the aforementioned century rule to keep the equinoxes more or less fixed and the date of Easter consistently close to the vernal equinox.Leap days can present a particular problem in computing known as the leap year bug when February 29 is not handled correctly in logic that accepts or manipulates dates. For example, this has happened with ATMs and Microsoft's cloud system Azure.
Up for sale is a rare bird… my 6 inch S&W 29-2 (6 inch 29-2 was made for less than three years) in .44 mag. This particular example was made in 1980.

The gun owner previous to my father most likely bubba'd the hammer on my revolver that was embarrassingly discovered by another NWF forum member during a basic (cylinder empty) safety and function test. :(
Any S&W parts hoarders out there that may be able to help? I need an NOS or virtually...

Although it's a dash and a couple digits away from a Dirty Harry piece it still carries some movie conversation clout during show and tell or range time. I'll spare you from the iconic movie quote. There is some very light muzzle and ring/drag wear present. Factory blue is still looking good...

Nickel plated Smith and Wesson 29-2 44 magnum. 6 1/2" barrel, target trigger, grips and sights. The plating has started to flaked off and the price reflects the condition.
I had this made for a S&W 44 mag with a 6 1/2” barrel to put in the living room but no longer have my big N-frame 29-10. This should fit bigger revolvers too...hope you can use it.
