how does the GP in 44 compare to S&W 69 in weight and size I
The new Ruger is supposed to weigh around 36 oz., the S&W 69 is 37.4 oz. with a 4.25" bbl., S&W is also cataloging a 629 Deluxe with a 3" bbl. that weighs 39.6 oz., which is pretty close to what the Mountain Guns weighed. The lightweight champ is the S&W 329PD at 25.2 oz. with a 4.125" bbl.
I am a relatively small guy, only 5'6" tall and have no trouble concealing a 629 Mountain Gun, so see no need to pick up another small 44, or add 44 special to the brass pile. There are plenty of options with the 44 mag, from plinking, to personal defense, to hunting.
