I kinda like the 396 Night Guard, but don't like the locks, nor much else about modern S&Ws. I also think the 329 PD is worth looking at, except for the same issues (including price).Nicksterdemus":2pt889hb said:Always liked the look of a 3" Model 24.
I've whiled away many an hour lusting after a 696.
I like the 5 rnds, yet not crazy about the full lug look.
Couldn't quite bring myself to pull the trigger on the price tag.
The 396 isn't as purdy and needs another 1/2" of brl, but it's light w/big fat glow in the dark sight.
S&W could go back to the drawing board and eyeball the original Charter Arms .44 spl.
Gimmie 5 rnds on a round butt w/3" taper brl, fixed sights and put it on a K frame.
If they wanna get funky w/it make the taper brl 3 & 3/16" and slap some bark heavy stags on that mudder.
Call it, The Cracker Barrel.
That would be made to order for the Blazer 200gn flying ashtray.
Ain't like I'm going bar huntin'.
I'd like that in a heavy Nickel plate please.
All hail the 44spl.
Designed to effectively stop bad guys at subsonic speed w/o racking a slide.

I went to a gun show and low n behold there it was.
I picked it up, checked it out & the fella ask me what I thought about the powerhouse.
Lawd have mercy, I think I'd have to employ a porter to tote the thing around until I was ready to shoot.
That rascal needs a bipod attachment.
Anywho, after that the feelings subsided somewhat.
I'd still like to have one.
Mounted on a quad, a mule or anything besides my hip.
I think they should've put a 5.5/6" brl on that rascal.
What's a few more ounces?
It's not as if you'd use it in a fast draw shoot-out @ high noon.
As far as I'm concerned the 45acp & 44spl are in the same class.
Big, heavy & no sonic boom.

I want one.
