But which model is best ? 29, 629 ......which would you buy and why?

I want a 6 inch barrel and I want a 44, what else should I consider. What model would you get ?

I jumped on gunbroker and got confused real fast.
Your 357 is not a 629, the 629 is a SS N-frame in 44 mag, a 29 is the same thing just blued (Dirty Harry packed a 6" 29). Your 357 is mostly likely a 19/66 K-frame or 586/686 L-frame assuming you have adjustable sights. You can't go wrong with either 29 or 629, just decide if you want blue or ss. What ever you get make it an older model they are much nicer than current models. My dream 44 mag is custom Bowen GP-44 (Ruger Redhawk/Super Redhawk hybrid) but for a factory 44 mag I'd want a 29-1 or 29-2.
