I see your point. I have several S&W 44 magnums. For the most part I'm only shooting Specials no point in carrying the extra weight.
When I go to the mountains I regularly carry my 629 Classic with a 5" barrel
which is my favorite 44 to shoot. When I carry it I also it loaded with 240 grain magnums, or even a 340 grain bullets.
I also have the L frame 69. Unimpressed with the quality. I'm only buying the older Colts and S&As. I would pay more for the quality. Why can't we go back to the 28 and the 27. The 27 was worth the extra money. The 28 well, was like a Ford or Chevy. We have neither now.
I would like to be the CEO at S&W. We would go back to quality. Yes it would be expensive. You could have some low end but we certainly would go back to quality, and no lock.
