My new favorite: 44 magnum
My Model 69 came back from the factory for barrel sleeve adjustment (it was canted and leaning, causing the shots to go left).
Looks like they improved the barrel. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s pretty darned straight. I noticed that endshake was out of spec, so I installed a .002 power custom bearing, and it’s perfect now. B/c gap is .004 with minimal end play.
This gun is now my new favorite. It handles the .44 magnum Silvertips well, which are my carry load. 210 gr. JHP @ 1250 is stout but controllable.
The perfect magnum for carry in my opinion.
