I know you love those Ruger 44 Specials.
But why that gun over the Smith 69?
I can't answer that objectively because I have never owned the 69. There are a number of reasons I'd pick the short barreled 69 over the Ruger and the biggest reasons would be its weight and the fact that it's called a 69.
But there is something to the newer Rugers that makes them infinitely likable. The DA's and SA's are easy to tune and they are amazingly accurate in my experience.
