Westwood for me...Greenhills!
Waiting for the opportunity for her to shoot the 60 with 38 Specials. I'll bet the results will be similar. She shot single action very well, but the double action pull always has her jerking the trigger.You are a brave man got rid of the wife's pistol. I know if my wife shot one as good as you say I most likely would have never seen it again
I had a round butt 4" that I should have NEVER gotten rid of. The 69 was an attempt to replace that gun. The 60 "only" gives me 5 rounds, but the gun and it's lack of weight disappear when I put it on a belt.SW 686+, as it's hard to beat 7 rounds of .357 mag goodness.
I sold the 686+ to cover the cost on a Dan Wesson CBOB in 10mm, which was the twin to my CBOB in 45. I say was, because I didn't have it long and sold it. I was not impressed by the 10mm, but at the time everyone was comparing it to the 41 Mag, which it's not.Yes.... I would love to have it be a Kimber 1911.... I even have a Kenai for a 1911. But I don't mind getting the Glock dirty or marked up. One of my SIL's ribs me about it too. But it is light and off my hip. Besides, at 100 yards my stock G20 hit the gong and my friend with a longer Storm Lake ported barrel never hit it! If I ever have to use it in the deep willows or in the upper back country, it's the Glock. And it won''tt be 100 yards. Still have the 629 back packer but my hikes are shorter now. I would still be packing it.
The weight helps with felt recoil for me and with a nice belt and leather holster, or shoulder holster it is very satisfying to know you are prepared of urban or woods.'''paired with the right handgun or carbine the 44 Magnum is the most versatile cartridge known to man.''
To some degree I can get behind this statement.
But the short barrel that gives up velocity, combined with the all steel non-fluted cylinder that adds weight?
I would call that the Wrong pairing.

The one I have in my hand at the needed time!The Remington 44 Magnum is a very versatile cartridge, with loadings from mild to wild. I know this is going piss-off many readers but before moving on to your other favorite firearm blogs take a deep breath and continue reading. Keep in mind I am not saying the 44 Magnum is perfect or best suited for a firefight, the best range cartridge or even the best hunting round. But what I am saying is paired with the right handgun or carbine the 44 Magnum is the most versatile cartridge known to man.
Because of this versatility I believe this is the best or "The Ultimate Self Defense Revolver" On the Ransom Rest for Accuracy

Oooo, Mercy!The 69 especially this one is a sexy capable beast. Wish it were mine it was worked over by a gunsmith and man is the trigger nice.
I owned the s&w 69 it's a 5 shot with specials it was fun to shoot but with full house loads it would sting my hand and I'm not that sensitive to recoil. I Traded it away after I got a Ruger Redhawk revolver.Oooo, Mercy!
The model 69 is surely not a range gun, if you can practice enough and get proficient it is a good carry. The Redhawk is awesome but more of a range gun to me or shoulder rig back country revolver.I owned the s&w 69 it's a 5 shot with specials it was fun to shoot but with full house loads it would sting my hand and I'm not that sensitive to recoil.

I love the 44mag though and reload, I think Ruger makes a better set up handgun for the 44mag because it weighs more and handles the heavy loads better.
Keeps it from being boring.To each their own.
Oh the interesting is the 329 NG
