Don't knock that 696 unless you've tried one. I have one that was purchased as a standard model but went to the Performance Center for a MagnaPort and action job by the 1st owner, my club buddy.
I have to say, it is as sweet as could be. Something about the way it looks, handles and feels, plus the 5-shot cylinder makes it dead sexy.
Being I'm a lover of 5-shot Chief's and other J-frame Smiths, the 696 is the big brother you call for if the little brother is getting picked on !!
