There's something special about a .44 Magnum you can carry all day without feeling like you strapped a boat anchor to your hip. The Smith & Wesson Model 69 Combat Magnum pulls that off by building a 5-shot .44 Mag on the L-Frame, the same platform that made the .357 versions legendary. At around 34 ounces with a 2.75-inch barrel and 7.8-inch overall length, it lands in the same size class as a lot of duty pistols while delivering big-bore performance that autoloaders can't touch.
Smith & Wesson didn't just shorten a barrel and call it done. The two-piece barrel with full-length extractor rod gives you complete ejection even in this snub configuration, and the ball-detent lockup at the frame keeps the action tight through heavy magnum use. The full top strap and barrel serrations cut glare when you're lining up a shot in bright conditions. Because the barrel sits lower relative to your hand than on the big N-Frame guns, muzzle flip is more manageable than you'd expect from a compact .44.
The red ramp front sight and adjustable white outline rear give you a fast, clear sight picture, and the rear adjusts so you can dial in your preferred load. The synthetic rubber grip soaks up recoil and fits the round-butt frame nicely. Since it also runs .44 Special, you can practice comfortably and affordably, then load full-house magnums when you head into bear country.
Hunters wanting a backup sidearm, hikers and fishermen in big animal territory, and anyone who appreciates a hard-use stainless wheelgun will feel right at home here. It's a lot of horsepower in a package that's genuinely easy to live with.
Yes. Like any .44 Magnum revolver, the Model 69 also chambers .44 Special. That's a big part of its appeal, since Specials are much easier on your hands and wallet for range sessions, while full magnum loads stay ready for the woods.
Full-power magnum loads in a 34-ounce gun are stout, no way around that. That said, the L-Frame puts the bore lower in your hand than an N-Frame, so muzzle flip is better controlled than most people expect, and the rubber grip helps a lot. Many owners run .44 Special or mid-range magnum loads for most shooting and save the heavy stuff for when it counts.
The L-Frame cylinder simply doesn't have room for six .44 caliber charge holes with safe wall thickness. Going to five rounds also lets the cylinder stop notches line up over the thickest part of the cylinder rather than over a chamber, which adds strength. It's the trade-off that makes a .44 Magnum this compact possible.
It's one of the most popular picks for the job. You get genuine .44 Magnum power in a stainless package light enough to actually wear on a chest rig or belt all day, which matters because the gun you have with you beats the one left in the truck. The adjustable rear sight lets you zero for your chosen heavy load.
