Anyone try a Smith 69 yet?

I'm really getting interested in them, but have yet to see one in the flesh. Looks like it would make a great little revolver for everyday carry in the field. Has my favorite holster maker made any holsters for them yet?

Ive only handled one.

If I didn't own a Mountain Gun, I'd be saving to buy one.


Sadly the new guns just don't have the same feel as the older ones.

Looks interesting. The weight is 37.2 OZ which is good. My NM Blackhawk 45 is 38 OZ for comparison.

I think we've sold two. Neither have come back

to the store. One was bought by a bear hunter. They look to be of good quality although unremarkable.

My local pusher had a couple in his display case. I handled the gun but didn't purchase one (I am not in gun buying mode these days). If you like the fit of a 4 inch 686, I can't see why you wouldn't like the fit of this gun. I have wanted a 696 for some time until this came out.
It's not flashy but I sure do like the idea.
These folks seem to like it too : http://singleactions.proboards.com/thread/12309/model-69-frame-magnum-bbl

Thanks Mark.
