I was kicking around at the gun store today and looking at Charter Arms. I always respect the 44 special and like the idea of the smaller frame with a good sized bullet. Next to the CAs he shows me a Smith and Wesson 696. 3" DA stainless, maybe they all are. With good leather holster and out the door for $450. I told him I'd think about it. Then I see there are only a handful on Gunbroker and they're all $900 or more. So would I be sad if I let this one go? I need a little encouragement.
