Looked at a new 2.75" specimen today. Looked like it had a piece of jacket material stuck to the forcing cone, presumably from the test shot(s). Is there any way this is normal? The forcing cone also looked very abrupt compared to my Taurus 44. Maybe it wasn't cut properly?
Read up on these in a trade magazine- I want one in blue but I guess I could live with rostfrie.....

I had both the 69 44 mag, and the GP100 44 Spl. While I like both, I kept the 69 for the added ability to use 44 mag ammo if needed. Mine is the snubby, although the 4.2" model is calling as well. All it takes is $$$, right?
As you can see, they are about the same size. They weigh very close to the same amount, too.
That is the conclusion I came to as well ..... the Smith will do it all. In reality one could probably load the Ruger in 44 Special pretty optimistically however. I bet Elmer would if he was a kickin’
Best regards
