About the Smith & Wesson Model 929
The Model 929 is a large-frame, eight-shot double-action/single-action revolver manufactured by Smith & Wesson. Built on the N-frame platform and chambered in 9mm, it was developed in collaboration with competitive shooter Jerry Miculek and is oriented toward the action shooting sports market.
How the California versions differ
- All three versions share the same SKU base (170341), 9mm chambering, and 6.5-inch barrel length, so they are closely related variants rather than fundamentally different guns.
- The base model (170341, MSRP $1,099) is priced $200 lower than the two variants, suggesting it represents the standard configuration.
- SKU 170341A and SKU 170341B carry the same MSRP of $1,299, indicating they differ from each other in a detail such as finish, grip material, or included accessories rather than in major specifications.
- Beyond price, the specific distinguishing features between 170341A and 170341B are not confirmed in the roster data alone, so buyers should consult Smith & Wesson's current product listings or a licensed dealer to clarify those differences before purchasing.
Who it suits
The Model 929 is best suited to competitive revolver shooters participating in sports such as USPSA or ICORE, and to experienced handgun enthusiasts who want a large-frame 9mm revolver for range use.
