Isn't that a revolver? Why would you put a sling on that?

Some of the LONG barreled Performance Center models had a sling swivel just behind the muzzle on the underlug, and another in the bottom of the grip frame.

Yeah its a revolver and the sling is for easy transport, Ive seen them on the Performance Center models thats what made me ask about it.

Don't people usually put revolvers in holsters on their hip?

It depends, however lots of people carry in different ways depends on their needs and circumstances.

For handgun hunting or even working outside I like the Haugen Rancher Magnum. Here's my Haugen rig and one of my Smith M629s:

But, for the 629 when I'm skiing or pig hunting or just working outside, I like chest carry.

Seen this on the X-Frame guns (460 & 500S&W), but never on a 629.

Sure, lots of people have. A smart idea as, to paraphrase Clint Smith, a long gun without a sling is like a pistol without a holster.

I've seen slings on Encores and Contenders. Lots of guys put slings on Savage and Remington speciality pistols, especially out West.

However, for a revolver like a Smith, I'd rather have a holster, but that's just me.

Nope, it's me too. There is some really nice leather out there for Smiths, and then there's some good, affordable leather. I have a Desantis Speed Scabbard for my Smith.

The first one I remember seeing was at Galyan's, back when it was actually Galyan's in Plainfield.

A couple of years ago there were some at SHOT too, I think in Atlanta, before the X frame was released.

Want to say they were 12"+ barrels.

The unlug lug had a small flat milled on the bottom, then drilled and tapped for the stud.
