This is one Ruger DA I would buy in a heartbeat. I own a Smith 696 and have owned Charter Bulldogs and think the GP100 would be an excellent platform for the 44 Special cartridge. The 696 is on the L-frame platform, about the same as the GP100. Of course, it would have to be a 5 shot, but that's okay, makes for a better conceal carry package. Hmmmm, wonder if the 45 Colt would work?? Just dreamin'! :wink: Here's the 696....
