Originally introduced as a formidable production handgun in .44 Magnum at launch. The S&W M29 Counterbored presence in the firearms community was limited until the Dirty Harry film series propelled it into the limelight, resulting in a surge in sales and overwhelming demand, leaving retailers struggling to keep it in stock.
Tanaka reproduces this iconic M29 6.5-in Counterbored revolver as a Tanaka Heavyweight variant with the Pegasus Version 3 gas system, enhancing actual, shooting performance and maximises the potential of the original Pegasus system, resulting in better accuracy and consistent performance in altered temperature state. The Pegasus gas system employs a revolver cylinder for the dual purpose of storing gas and BBs. Gas is filled at the rear of the cylinder, while the dedicated BB channel, located at one of the front chambers, accommodates 13 rounds of 6mm BBs. To load each chamber, simply spin the cylinder to insert a single BB into each of the six chambers. Once depleted, the loading process can be repeated. Similar to its Japanese industry counterparts, Tanaka craftsmanship is exemplary. The smooth operation of the cylinder, trigger engagement, and hammer or cylinder release showcases an impressive level of Japanese artistry.
The Counterbored edition of the M29 features the counterbored, or recessed chamber design for the rimfire revolver, an additional safety protection in case of a ruptured rim. It comes standard with N-frame bearing the S&W trademark and realistic engraving, a round rear sight, and a semi-wide trigger with a stopper. Additionally, the faux wooden grip provides a visual sense of authenticity and the heavy-weight resin body significantly improve rigidity and weight. The visual design evokes a collector's appeal, as the ABS plastic construction is not immediately apparent until held. Furthermore, the revolver boasts a robust build quality, utilising heavyweight resin melded with zinc die-cast for improved structural rigidity and realistic weight, along with an operation is remarkably smooth, with no resistance in the controls. The 6-inch revolver is adorned with S&W markings, enhancing the ownership experience of this M29 replica.
