^^^ yeah, I'm going backwards = sold more than I've bought = everything fits in the safe again. But that there's a beaut. If one was ever to fall off the wagon... :o

Damn it's good looking...

I've held the 44mag version. It's a chunk of gun but that grip was surprisingly comfortable. It was hard to set down.

The Redhawk is such a big honkin' iron that it doesn't appeal to me in that caliber (8 shots or not) and barrel length.

I like the new GP100 in .44SPL

Still, I can't help wishing they had brought it out as a fixed sight GP100

....or better yet, put the 44 in a Speed Six

Speed Six 357 is my Dad's gun.
Hard to argue with that...

To add to the confusion S&W looks like they are introducing a 2.75 inch version of the Model 69 and Model 66.
SKU numbers are 10061 for the 2.75 inch Model 66, and 10064 for the 2.75 inch Model 69.
Both will have red ramp and white outline sights.

Me need both.

If I get a gun that clunky, I'm still leaning this way: Alaskan 454 Casull with the Lett-style grips. I'd have to sell 2 or 3 to make room for that one... ;) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WFJjc8jUlrU

S&W makes a lower priced and lighter weight 8-rounder.

I'll take one of each...........................................

I decided I want a Kimber K6s.
