My new S&W 69 .44 Magnum

If1HitU · Sep 20, 2017

Hey members I bought this S&W 69 .44 Magnum 4.25" last week,but I haven't been to the range to fire it yet. I will do that this weekend. If any of you own or have fired one I would like to here what you think or this revolver?

Admin.I just realize I put this post in the wrong forum,I would like you to move it to " Handgun Revolvers" I'm sorry about that...Thanks.

Nice! Congrats & thanks for the pic.

I have seriously thought about buying one but decided that my old 3" 629-1 is enough for me as far as that size/caliber revolver goes.

Let us know how she shoots.

I'll say bring a .44 Spl load or two to compare with the 180 and 240 Magnum loads. Let us know what you think :thumbup:

I like both my 4.2" M69.

My loads are a bit hotter than 44 Special loads loaded in 44 Magnum cases, 240 SWC traveling 950-1000 fps. It is enough recoil for me. (I got a 460 Mag if I want wrist snapping recoil).

I enjoy shooting it. It is a good size for a big bore revolver, in my opinion. But, I like K and L frames better than N frames anyway.

This thread should be in the revolver section. I'll alert the mods.

I like mine a lot. I fire very few magnums but TONS of 44 specials.

That is most of what I have been firing in my 629 in the past few years. Much funner ... if that is even a word.

Real word or not, it gets the point across very well!

Sweet! Hard to go wrong there. I wish my current budget was stretchable enough to get one. Let us know how it shoots.

Second hand info as the gun is my brothers. His first experiences with it were terrible and he had to send it back to S&W. They replaced the hammer, trigger, and cylinder in his new gun. The good news is that when he got it back it was all put right and he is very fond of the gun. It shoots accurately and functions flawlessly for him.
