The 629 PC’s impressive muzzle. Even though revolvers generally have sharp edges, this particular one doesn't, making it more comfortable to use

The wide and smooth trigger improves double action shooting

An unfluted cylinder makes the revolver even more bulky and conveys an idea of extreme resilience and toughness

The front sight has a classical colored polymer insert, and is dovetailed to allow easy replacement

The micrometrically adjustable rear sight allows accurate zeroing of the gun. The deep checkering of the hammer’s crest ensures a sure grip.

The cylinder release button is modern and therefore more ergonomic which makes operating it easier. The keyhole for the manual key-lock safety is quite visible.

The breech shield, just like all internal parts of the frame, shows no traces of machining marks. Notice that the firing pin is located in the gun's frame
