I ordered this yesterday. S&W Model 69 L-Frame .44 Mag. I will let you know how it works out.

That don't seem bad, but why would they put it on an L frame? Now 44Special in an L frame is good but 44Magnum?
Well once you've shot it, let me know whatcha think.

Can't go wrong with any 44magnum. I have a S&W 629 (no dash) with a 4" barrel. It was MagNaPorted and tuned by Larry Kelly. Nice thing about a 44mag is you can run 44 Specials ... if you can find any.

Man, I'd love to see one of those ported. Please post a pic sometime, I bet that's a real beauty.

Ah, that's some real eye candy, R K9 J. Gee whiz! I bet that makes for some pretty pics when it's shot in low light conditions.

Does it have the lock??

No lock. It was a gift from my brother when I graduated college in 1980. Hard to see but the barrel is "pinned" which is something S&W quit doing in the early 80's (?) to save money. As well, the cylinder holes are recessed which again is something that S&W stopped doing to cut production costs. Since I have never shot a 4" 44 mag without porting, I could not tell you if it helps or not. My guess is that it does and that it increases the decibel level too. What makes this gun so special is the action job that MagNaPort did. Exceptionally smooth. I have yet to handle any S&W with an action like this.

Classic, pristine. Almost one of a kind...
