I have a 669 which is the stainless version of the 469. I like it. I got a great deal on mine. I put the uncle mikes hard rubber grips on mine. It was my first pistol and is a great starter pistol. The only issue I have is its hard to find holsters. galco, don hume, desantis, and triple K all offer a couple each. but its a gun that went out of production in 1988
