That would make it a short barreled rifle, wouldn't it? Illegal, I would guess.
How about a pair of Pachmayr Decelerator grips and magnaporting the barrel? Those two things together would reduce the recoil considerably.
I had shoulder surgery on my right shoulder, so I did all my shooting left handed for a few months, got quite good at shooting weak handed!0 -
I have the grips but is still hot. I went to 44spl and better but still want a stock. I have only right arm and missused that in my line of work. I could get a g2 but I have this weapon already. Thank for your input. 0 -
it is NOT legal to own a shoulder stock for your pistol unless the barrel is over 16 inches long. END OF STORY once a reciver/frame is registered as a pistol . Older pistols like Lugers Broomhandle some High Powers and some older Colt Single action Revolvers can be legal if they came that way. they are on the curio list. 0 -
Even if you have a shoulder stock for a revolver in your possession it is a federal crime. 10 years and/or $10,000 fine. Not worth it. 0 -
As said, putting a shoulder stock on a handgun makes it a Short Barrelled Rifle. That is not completely illegal, but it is strongly regulated... and taxed. Lots of folks are having semiauto SBRs made up because our Nanny Government won't allow them to have a real submachine gun and this is as close as they can get for something to play with. Check it out, it IS possible if you don't mind paying for it. 0 -
thanks for the imfo everyone will get another type firearm.. 0 -
First of all, I've never heard of any manufacturer who offers a fitted shoulder stock for a Smith and Wesson N frame revolver.
Given that its illegal to simply stick one on a modern revolver, I doubt anyone does make such a stock and the rest of the discussion is moot.
Being Devil's advocate, you could put a stock on it (assuming you could find or construct one), but you'd have to register the gun as a short barreled rifle with the Feds first.
Actually, this is not as difficult as you might think, though you have to ask yourself if its worth the dollar cost of having a stock made and the $200 tax fee. Its probably going to be more cost effective to just sell the gun, and swap it for a .44 magnum rifle.
Also, I think you can also get away with LEGALLY putting a shoulder stock on there if you ALSO increase the barrel length of the gun to over 16" AND the overall length of the gun past 26".
Now you'll need a custom stock AND barrel made, plus you'll need a gunsmith to fit the barrel. You'd end up with something unique, and kind of cool, though again, probably not cost-effective, compared to selling/trading the gun for a production rifle.
See here for a modern made revolving carbine from Uberti (scroll down):

Many years ago, someone made a legal shoulder stock of sorts. It was legal in that it did not attach to the gun. It was a sort of a brace between wrist and shoulder to help stabilize the gun, but it wasn't a stock. I have a picture of it in my head but I can't remember the brand name.
If you can find someone to fit a shoulder stock to your 29, you would also have to add a barrel at least 16 inches long, and the total length of the gun would have to be at least 26 inches.0
