I had one for a while and liked it. It's maybe the only Smith auto I like the square trigger guard on. CDNN had some new Uncle Mike's grips for them cheap a while back.

Just got one myself not too long ago. They are GREAT pistols.
The 469 is a "second generation" S&W auto pistol. They were originally intended for the US Air Force to arm their aircrews. They are basically cut-down model 59's with a bobbed hammer, slightly shortened alloy frame, and 12-round magazine. They were made from the early 1980's to the late 1980's.
I LOVE mine. It is @ 98-99%, shoots everything I put through it, fits my hand well, and is a pleasure to to shoot.
great choice!!

I have a 669 and when I travel to states where I can CCW, it is what I usually have. Never a problem with it.

Had several over the years. Found them to be excellent guns. Sold my most recent one appx 6 months ago. Just had too many 9MM's Decided to part with it.
Enjoy your new find.
