With Winter close at hand & colder weather coming (heavier clothing) - I switch from a .45acp S&W Shield to a S&W M69 2.5" barrel - loaded with American Eagle 240 grain .44 magnum.
I do not have a way to Chrono them, but, by my best guess, that load should be getting around 1100 fps out of the short barrel.
