S&W 69 L-FRAME

The S&W 69 L-FRAME Combat Magnum is the first 69 Smith & Wesson Double-Action Revolver in 44 magnums. The Model 69 has a 5-shot cylinder, making the gun more compact and lighter than the full-sized N-Frame model 629.

After a few years of quiet, the s w model 69 l frame, a 5-shot, .44 Magnum L-Frame with a 2.75-inch barrel, was reintroduced in 2014. The Model 69 Combat Magnum from Smith & Wesson is the latest in the L-Frame line of guns. 

The new, Medium-Large frame they were built on would be called the “s and w 69 lframe.” Smith and Wesson started production in 1980 with the blued steel Models 586 and 581 (fixed companies), but Baker said, “interest in the gun quickly took off with the classic 686 in stainless steel.” Buy Smith & Wesson Model 686 Plus Revolver 357 Magnum, 38 S&W online.

Finally, Smith & Wesson L-Frame revolver made another engineering change on the 69 (and other new manufactured firearms): a new two-piece barrel manufacturing process consisting of a rifled inner sleeve inserted into a shroud rather than the old-school, solid one-piece barrels. It is a money-saving technique from S&W, which I reluctantly understand.

Although largely surpassed in convenience and ammunition capacity by semi-automatic pistols, revolvers still remain popular as back-up and off-duty handguns among American law enforcement officers and security guards and are still common in the American private sector as defensive, sporting, and hunting firearms. Famous revolvers models include the Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, the Webley, the Colt Single Action Army, the Colt Official PoliceSmith & Wesson Model 10, the Smith & Wesson Model 29 of Dirty Harry fame, the Nagant M1895, and the Colt Python.

    I have had mine about 2 years. When I first got it, I notice that there were some issues with reliability, with the first 200-400 rounds. After that it has been a flawless rifle, and I’m well into the thousands of rounds through it. Somewhere between 4000-5000. I think the reliability issues came from the sharp angles on the hammer-face. Once I shot it more it smoothed it out a bit, and it stopped catching. I will be buying more from PSA. They made me love the AK design. I have used ak’s before but never owned one until this rifle. I admit I buy a lot of Gucci guns, so I’m really happy PSA has delivered a product that encourages me to give the cheaper brands a chance

    Reliable? Aks have failed and the mudtest showed that. Ballistics better than 5.56 in sbrs? Debatable. 77 grain 5.56 out of a 10.3 is still going faster than 7.62×39 out of this 12.25 barrel. Yeah it’s cool and a beast gun but there’s a reason even the russians moved away from 7.62×39 and into 5.45.

    there’s a reason the 300blk out is gaining steam. and it’s not only because it suppresses well. it also has very similar ballistics to the 7.62 x39.

    (also the russians switched to 5.45 because weight, and recoil under full auto)

    “AK’s have failed”…that’s like saying “Shit has smelled good before.” Maybe. But rarely. Stoppages are a way of life for AR’s, an occasional thing for AK’s. Is the bullet going twice as fast? Let’s face it, I have some 154 grain soft nosed bullets. Probably travelling at least 4/5ths the speed of your 77 grainer. Twice the weight. Half again as large in diameter. Ain’t gonna throw mine in the mud. I have used both. Clean ’em, lube ’em, put ’em side by side and fire till they stop. See which one fails first. You know as well as I do the AK will still be running long after the AR freezes up. Heavier bullet, larger diameter, way more dependable. You know that.

    the M16/AR15 was not the same weapon in 1967 as it is today. Everyone knows it had reliability issues, most of which was caused by ammunition/powder.

    SEALs *used* AKs in a war 50+ years ago, that’s not the same thing as “SEALs use them.” There’s a plethora of reasons they used them, not all were because of reliability. For example, if behind enemy lines, ammo can be resupplied off of enemy dead. Modern day SOF use a lot of different weapons, and train on everything they might encounter. It doesn’t mean the AK is their primary weapon, which is what you made it sound like.

    The Talo exclusive Birdshead Wrangler with woods grips and Desantis holster is a great little gun. It’s heavy and sturdy as a brick. I was having trouble finding one, but I got it through guns.com right away, no delays, no problems.I did pay full retail plus a fee and also a fee at the FFL dealer it was shipped to. Worth every penny to me.
