Just 1 oz. difference in their weights.
I like them both... definitely... most definitely.
On the M69's webpage it says:
Overview:
The K-Frame revolver is one of the most important innovations in Smith & Wesson history and was built specifically to handle the .38 S&W Special cartridge. Since its introduction in 1899, the K-Frame has been a favorite for military and police professionals as well as target shooters and enthusiasts. Today's K-Frame is available in .22 LR, .357 Magnum and .38 S&W Special.
First L-Frame in .44 MagnumŽ
Don't know why they added the paragraph referencing the K-frame; that's for the M66, which does have the same paragraph on it's page.
Had me wondering at first until I saw the line mentioning the L-Frame.
