Smith & Wesson Model 69 Combat Magnum 44 Mag 2.75" Stainless 5-Shot

The Smith & Wesson Model 69 Combat Magnum delivers full-power 44 Magnum performance in a compact L-frame package that bridges the gap between concealed carry and field use. This stainless steel revolver combines the stopping power of 44 Magnum with the manageable size of Smith & Wesson's proven L-frame platform.

What Makes This Different

The Model 69 represents Smith & Wesson's solution to the traditional trade-off between power and portability in magnum revolvers. Built on the L-frame rather than the larger N-frame used for most 44 Magnums, it reduces overall weight by approximately 6 ounces while maintaining structural integrity for full-power loads. The 2.75-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for defensive ammunition while keeping the overall length manageable for concealed carry applications.

Key Features

• L-frame construction rated for unlimited 44 Magnum loads with reduced weight
• 2.75-inch barrel optimized for defensive ammunition velocity
• Satin stainless steel finish resists corrosion and environmental conditions
• 5-round cylinder capacity with full-length extractor rod for reliable ejection
• Internal lock system provides additional safety when storing
• Red ramp front sight with adjustable rear sight for precision shooting
• Synthetic grips designed to manage magnum recoil effectively

Field testing shows the Model 69 maintains accuracy standards expected from Smith & Wesson revolvers while delivering manageable recoil characteristics for extended shooting sessions. The shorter barrel length makes it suitable for both concealed carry applications and as a backup hunting sidearm. The stainless steel construction handles adverse weather conditions without performance degradation, making it reliable for outdoor use in various climates.
