Giving S & W Another Try
Just joined up with you fine folks.
Bought a M69 recently and hoping its what I've been looking for.
Owned one of the first batch of Mountain Revolvers when they came out .
Long story short,it was the worst gun I had ever owned.
Factory couldn't keep it in shootin' shape.
Hoping this ones a keeper.

Welcome from Tennessee. What were your problems with the mountain revolver? What's your choice this time?

Welcome from the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey.
Thank you for your service!
In my experience, S&W revolvers are the Timex of the revolver world!

Been to the range twice with it now.
Nice trigger and shoots pretty close to aiming point.
Once I get the grips figured out I will be happy.
Already picked up some Unique to get started loading.

Most everything I have read about the 69 has been very positive . A friend of mine had one for awhile and really liked . He usually buys whatever comes out , shoots it for awhile and then sells it .
