I'm not real sure why, but I've wanted one of the S&W 69s since they came out. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_827559_-1_757769_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y I like the .44 Spl and really enjoy shooting my .44 Spl Ruger BlackHawk. A huge part of the appeal is that it is sized appropriately to the cartridge, IMO. The 69 is similar sized, and may be an even slimmer gun, that gives DA and swing-out cylinder convenience plus the Magnum option. That's been my reasoning for liking it anyway. I have tried not to look for them. If I don't see one, I won't want one. That has worked pretty well, and I don't think I've seen them anywhere except at NRA shows. I know my regular gunshop has not had any new ones in the case when I've been there. No new ones. Last week they had a used one. I tried not to look, but I couldn't help but see it appeared not to have been used at all. Keep moving. Nothing to see here. I escaped. For that week. Today I told myself if it was still there, I'd take a closer look. Nothing good stays there more than a few days, and they sure don't last through a weekend. There it was. Calling out. Saying "Ask for me". So I did. And I scratched that itch. Shooting report soon, I hope.
