I'd never use a Model 29 to pistol whip anybody.
That's what I have the big Ruger for.
Heh, heh!
A Model 29 is too big for me (heck, it’s too big for anyone except Clint Eastwood) to use as a blunt object.
Colt 1911A1 still works for me. In the Army we were trained how to use it as a bludgeon. The class began with, “even when empty, your 1911A1 can still be used.”
