Snagged this Model 69 off of GB for $625. headed to the range today. Seller said he bought it new and only fired 30 rounds through it. Looking at it I totally believe him. Not a mark on it anywhere. Truly LNIB.

Great find! People ask me why I spend time on Gun Broker. Your gun is the answer. There are overpriced guns...YES, Junk...YES, Some fine guns at good prices.... not enough, but YES! I have gotten some nice guns through them.
I still have never had a 44 though. Let us know how things went at the range! Bob

Well, took it to the range today and, actually, I'm very impressed with it. Accuracy is spot on. Shot 25 yards and kept a VERY nice group. Recoil, for whatever reason, does not seem as snappy fast as other .44s I've shot. It's like more of a push than a slap. Mind you, it is a .44 magnum so shooting it is tough on the hands and wrist. Not punishing, but tough.

That said, I did not buy this for a frequent shooter. I bought to be a very good, strong, accurate woods gun. IMHO, this is the perfect gun for that purpose. There's not much that walks, talks or crawls that a .44 won't put down. Yet, it is light enough to be a comfortable carry and, being stainless, it will take a beating in the field. I foresee owning this revolver for as long as I'm able to get to the woods and fields. I'm very impressed and very pleased.
