Discussion
Short Barreled 629s
I think that the custom barrels of the 629s from Extreme Prejudice, Beverly Hills Cop and The Hitcher are made by John Jovino Gun Shop or Magna-Port Combat Conversion Kit, but more probably is Magna Port. With a quick search on google you understand what I mean.

Look at the thin compensation holes in the middle of the barrel. It's a peculiarity of both brands.

Performance Centre?
Is the section that is currently titled as "Smith & Wesson Model 629 V-Comp" wrong, I thought it used to be labelled just as "Smith & Wesson Model 629 Performance Centre". The V-Comp is a different shorter barrelled compensated model shown below. --commando552 20:04, 23 April 2012 (CDT)
