Jcon72, they are about 35 years old.

Thanks, I'm gonna look for that article

Paul105, The bore access might be why I could shoot this m69 faster than my m629 snubby.

Thanks, sparkyv. I've been shooting DA revolvers since about 7 years old when my pop started me off with his S&W m19 snubbie. He always taught me to practice in DA as during self-defense you won't have time to cock the hammer. I still have the m19 to this day and I shoot it on occasion. He...

Excellent, thanks 1k!
