I would love to see the 696 again. Why did S&W stop making it? Every one I ever see is snagged almost immediately. Was it really poor sales?

Can anyone show pics/proof of a "killed" barrel/forcing cone on a 696? I've never saw on. I own a 696 from the first run and its never had a problem.
tuh....me neither and me too. Mine has had plenty of fairly hot deer/black bear hunting type loads through it with no ill affects what so ever! It's taken a back seat to other projects over the last 10 years, but it's still one of my most cherished revolvers.

No need for a 696 now that they make the M69 snubbie (both L-frames). You can shoot any power 44 you want in it.
