Handled a S&W 69 YESTERDAY (do I get a prize?).

;-) Seriously, it is a 4" 696 with matte finish and better grips AND, of course, the Magnum chambering. I showed it to a friend who stopped by the shop and he allowed that it would be perfect with .44 Special level loads, which is true. Not to stir the pot but he didn't like the lock or MIM parts (trigger really) nor did he like the matte finish. People commented on the black screw heads with the stainless gun. My price would be around $700 with employee discount. I don't know if I can get excited about it at that price.
