The 296 was briefly produced in the late '90s. It looked like a Bodyguard on steroids with a humpback although the hammer was fully enclosed, making it double action only. It is an aluminum framed 5 shot .44 Spl. Weighs 18 Oz. and hurts to shoot with stout loads. A have one I bought new as soon as they came out to go with my 696. Very interesting revolver. They are kind of pricey now, if you can find one.
