Hello.
I am trying to decide on a S&W in .44 Special. I am looking to get either a 696 or a Model 24. I know that the N-frame would probably be able to handle the recoil better but I am looking for info on the 696's recoil. Is it tolerable? It would seem like it might be a bit much considering that it is an L-frame. I am sure that the frame could take the recoil; I am not sure that my hand could. Basically, I am looking to be able to shoot all day and not have to worry about it.
