Model 696s do not meet Washington's minimum 4" barrel for deer hunting so hard kicking loads aren't useful for me anyway.
The other possible gotcha is that relatively large 5 shot revolvers do not fit into any matches that I'm aware of.

It's all about the grip fit.
Get grips that fit you and your worries are no more.
Big time magnum fan here, even have 3" & 4" 44's with... wooden round butt grips - but they fit me. I shoot a home cast 265g SWC @ 1200fps in them. Stout load and while they are impressive, due to grip fit, they are no problem.
