Full bore 44 Magnum is ruff in one of the new L frame guns. After talking to Taffin I ordered one of the new L frame model 69s. I ran some hot factory loads and they were not pleasant at all. Taffin was right. The L frame model 69 should have been a 44 Special gun.

Anyone toy with the S&W model 69 .44? - WB, 2026-02-20, 09:26
