I am no expert on anything.
I do have two Model 696's. One is a ported Lew Horton. I bought them both new about 10+ years ago. I have shot the ported one perhaps 1500 rounds of mostly factory Blazer 200 gr gold dots. The revolver fits my hand just right and have no problems at all with it. I do not see any wear on the frame, forcing cone, or the top strap.
I also have a 624 4" and a 24 3" and being N-frame's, I dont think it is fair to compare them to the 696's.
