That model 69 does look sweet.
I wonder if all our grousing for a new 696 had any effect?

New 2014 Models Announced
- Thread starter ikevin
- Start date
M629 Unfluted with pic rails on top and in front of ejector a la TRR8. I wonder how much? I may not be able to lay off this one.
Not the actual retail price but I called my dealer and told them to place an order for 1 for me. Their normal pricing is a healthy bit under MSRP on everything so I'm not too worried about that silly number up on the top of the page.
I can't find the spec. on the two 9 mm rev. I was told that a .355 would be a better gun then a 357-9 mm. When i go tomorrow i will find out. You ordered the 460 ? NICE !!
I always wanted a 460 but the price of that ammo is nuts. I'm sure you reload. After what happen to me with my 357 rev. [blow up in my hand] not for me ....
I've already got the 10.5" PC and was planning on getting the 5" but this will work out even better along side the longer one. Shooting the 200gr Hornady FTX is pretty reasonable on both the wallet and the wrist.
I'm crossing my fingers that S&W decides to bring out a similar PC shorty in .500 next year.

That's a deal breaker for me.

I give the factory credit for listening to their customers and bringing out new products.
Two pluses - the 66 and 69 in 4.25" barrels, so our Canadian friends can enjoy them, and the relocation of "Smith & Wesson" to the left side of the barrel. Seeing that on the right side bugs me, for no explainable reason. A possible minus - forcing cone issues on both the above; perhaps the two-piece barrel addressed this.

If so, the didn't listen well enough. I like the Model 69 concept, but a 3"BBL would have been more to my liking.

Agree with the forcing cone issue on the 69. That's the first thing I thought when I saw .44 Magnum L-frame. The primary reason I want one is that I don't see that gun being manufactured for very long....and it's darn neat to see ".44 Combat Magnum" stamped on the side of a barrel

I'm thinking a Model 69 is going to follow me home!

I will give them credit for listening to their customers and also hope they would see fit to offer the 66, 69, 686 and 986's with a 3" barrel. (likewise with their existing 64 and 67).
I recently bought a 3" 66-3 and, WOW, that's THE GUN for me. As a result I'll soon be selling some off that won't get shot anymore. IMHO, the balance and weight is just so much better.

Sorry, but I cannot trust the IL. Otherwise I would try to get money to buy a new 66 or L frame 44...

I have done that already, three times. Now I would like some better aesthetics that make my eyes happy.

Nothing of interest to me. Make me a 9mm revolver like my old 3" 547 and I'll be in line to buy. But a 9mm with a 6 1/2" barrel? Why?

686 PC
I think I might get the new PC 686 if it can be had for less than MSRP. I would sell a few thing for that. There was one troubling thing that I read somewhere that the Performance Center guns are coming off the production line, sort of like the pro series, and that had started in 2013. I would want to know more about that. Are they doing less hand fitting?

That is a real nice gun. I was on the comp. all day looking for that and the 9 mm rev. came across this- New Ruger GP100 Match Champion 4" Stainless. Found one in stock. I bought it.By the time the S&W new guns hit the shelves i will have the money.I think I might get the new PC 686 if it can be had for less than MSRP. I would sell a few thing for that.

Anyone have any thoughts on when we might start seeing these new models roll in?
