I know S&W made a model 629 with a 10 5/8 barrel back in the mid '80's. I would like to get ahold of this particular model.
Does anyone know someone who is selling one?

  chesley,
  
  I'm not aware of the M629 ever produced in a barrel longer than the 8 3/8", nor can I find it in the Smith & Wesson catalog.
  
  Could you be remembering the M29 Silhouette made from 1983 to 1991?
  
  Use the search on the auction side, enter "smith & wesson silhouette"
  & you'll find two listed now.

  The only barrel length > 8 3/8" 629 was the Lew Horton 12" Extreme Hunter.

  Like the Model 29, the Model 629 was available in a shorter limited run than its blued counterpart the model 29, in the 10 5/8 inch barrel model, dubbed the Silhouette Model, and it had an adjustable elevation front sight.
