While I don't own one due to price v perceived need issues (While they were in production I didn't appreciate the 44 Special like I do now) I think the 696 is a fine general purpose revolver especially if you handload. There is probably a 696 or a 69 or a GP in 44 Special in my future when some other "I wannas" are taken care of first.

Next it isn't hard to carry a 3 inch L frame. Good IWB holster and a good belt. Buy pants that fit YOU and the gun.

As for condition of this 696 I'm working on a tablet and the limits on photo size keep me from an opinion. In general though I could and would use a 696 as a carry gun assuming weather appropriate for a covering garment.
